6 photos - Dragonfly day out 28june
      #673565 - 02/07/2008 12:32

This is my first photo post here - so hope this works!!!

Had a great day out with Steve and John from here last weekend chasing dragonflies. Here are a few shots taken with my Minolta A2 setup.

Steve please excuse this seperate thread. I didn't know if it was 'polite' to add these onto your thread, - and as I didn't want to risk causing a disaster not knowing how to post pix - and it took me a lot of goes - I thought this may be best, this time!

Hope you enjoy them.

Adrian

You see I said they would like them!! I still want to see a photo of your home made flash, made from a recycled bike light, cable ducting and fixed with a paper clip!!!
Plus an explanation of the DIY lenses which are attached to each other to achieve these results...
Only joking...

Some good pictures there Adrian, I just looked up what a Minolta A2 is, and I am now doubly impressed.
I like the two insects on the thorn branch, very well spotted and framed up.

Wow thanks everyone for the very warm welcome.

...Yes John you're not far out with my home made flash setup. I am hoping to develop a 'version2' later in summer - from a car reversing light!!

Hi Adrian. Welcome to the forum. Great pictures (doubly glad I didn't post mine).

PM me with your address and I'll send you those NRV's we were talking about.

Look forward to more of your pics.
