photosPosted by Mark Wednesday, August 18 2010 15:05:17Found it on an island near trogir - croatia I think it was just outside the village Milna on the island Brac to be precise I think it was this bay 43°19'31.63"N 16°25'19.60"O.
I didn't bring my macro lens on our little boat trip so had to bring it "home" BTW we spotted dolphins on the way to that island. Beautiful to see a pair of those swimming in real life. Anyway I took the bug to the apartment and took about 50 shots these 2 came out nice...

photosPosted by Mark Wednesday, August 18 2010 14:45:09With my D70 I used most times the pop-up flash with good results. Now you can see the difference between a hopper lit with a pop-up flash of the D300 and with the sb-400 both with same diffuser (see information on the right 2nd setup) Although I didn't like the 1st photo at 1st I kind of appreciate it better now The black background gives a sort of creepy look to the photo...

photosPosted by Mark Wednesday, August 18 2010 14:23:50The biggest Moth I have seen. Boy was it big and was I glad my youngest daughter discovered it. It was sitting on my underpants! Black on black nearly visible and did I say it was big? Look at the eye. The photo was cropped just a littlebit for better composition. Below a peace of its wing. Don't forget to click the photo for bigger view...

photosPosted by Mark Saturday, July 03 2010 14:59:33Again only a hand full damsels around the house. Don't know why but maby it's the quality of the water. Duckweed all over the water like a green carpet. If you didn't know there was water underneath you would walk right into it. Anyway I found a photogenic example who was kind enough to stay put....

(movie and text overhere) Although they do sit still perfectly I couldn't find a good angle to shoot 'm. I tried different angles and liked this one from below best.
