Perhaps not what might be expected as an 'atmospheric' shot, but....



^ Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrohsoma nymphula) laying eggs in my wildlife (no fish) pond.

Not technically going to win any awards but a shot I'm pleased with using my compact digital (useless on Manual!) FinePix F200EXR. Kinda looks arty. I was amazed how unperturbed the Damsel was but then realised that if you were on the toilet (equivalent of squeezing out eggs) and someone stuck a camera in yer face you wouldn't really have much choice.

Any comments welcome.

Gonna post more pics from this session in my RR's Wildlife Portfolio thread.

Robin.... is your pond a wildlife (no fish) pond??  :P


Very nice shot, great to capture the iridescence of the wings.

^ On one of my local beaches the other evening.

Spotted a Peregrine Falcon and a Rock Pipit with my new binoculars while there.

I like the second shot the best as the lighting is more dramatic  :smiley:

I sort of took that shot tongue in cheek  :laugh:

^ Shot on zoom with my FinePix F200 EXR digital compact. It's impossible to control the focus field because the aperture is either F 3.3 or 9.0 and nothing inbetween - It's not up to your pin-sharp standard, Rich. But it can fire gentle flash when Macro is set < Strange!

I keep thinking I want a better quality camera but being able to carry my camera in my pocket all the time does get me photos. I didn't see the incoming red flyer at the time of taking the shot - A happy accident.

The red strip is part of a photo I took of a newt in my pond at night and is a water lily leaf.
