Colour and Texture 2007-11-13 18:04:00 Click for 620kb imageMy last post was about a recent flood that I had experienced here on the family farm. I thought I would share a couple of images that I had taken after the floods had subsided enough for me to have a wonder around.As you can see when the litter is wet there is plenty of colour along with texture. The extra bright added colour came from the trees stripped by the hail.Click for 623kb imageThe hail by this time was much smaller than the jagged golf ball size that was experienced with the passing storm. Not something that I am in a hurry to experience again but hey it makes an interesting snapshot.

Red Pelargonium Flower 2007-11-19 15:53:00 Click for 510kb imageIn my garden I do find Pelargoniums and Geraniums grow well, although the recent hail and flooding has knocked them about quite badly.This snapshot shows a red Pelargonium flower that is catching the late rays of sun with the dark shadows of a cement rainwater tank as a backdrop. I am quite taken with the drama of light against the dark background.For the artist that may like to try an exercise in lost and found edges, this image would be ideal to try.Until next time, take care!Quick links:Free Subscription to SnapShots by Email Take a look at my Arts & Stuff BlogArts and Stuff with Susan Borgas website technorati tags: pelargonium, flower, images, photos, snapshots, free images, free photos
White Crab Spider or Flower Spider 2007-11-27 00:40:00 Click for 357kb imageWell nothing like researching creepy images so that I can nail the species for this white spider which is Diaea. The common name is White
Crab Spider
or if you prefer Flower Spider. Man am I going to be having nightmares tonight after viewing so many different species of spiders! I managed this snap yesterday with my new Sigma 150mm F2,8 APO MACRO lens that turned up in the mail and just had to try the lens out straight away. I was amused to see the spider sitting back on the same flower mid afternoon today waiting for his prey once more.It is going to take time to learn how to get the best shots with the bulk of the subject in focus but hey it is going to be fun learning and have to admit my new toy has put a spring in my step. Tell you what though, taking macro shots of bugs waving in the breeze on foliage is a good way to get motion sickness . I kid you not! Think in future I will take snaps on calm days.I would be interested if anyone else has this motion sick
Macro shot 2007-12-01 22:51:00 Click for 481kb imageJust a very quick post today to share another Macro
shot from my new Sigma 150mm F2,8 APO MACRO lens. I have no idea what this insect is called but do know it is very small at around 6-7mm long.I hate spam!

Wallaroo Sunset 2007-12-11 18:55:00 Click for 317kb imageYou really do need to click on the thumbnail or link provided to see the sunset at its best.This snapshot was taken at Wallaroo in South Australia during my stay over the weekend. I have to admit I was surprised that the image did not have more camera shake because I did not use a tripod, although leaning against a tree was very helpful for taking photos when so much of the daylight had gone.Quick links:Free Subscription to SnapShots by Email Take a look at my Arts & Stuff BlogArts and Stuff with Susan Borgas websiteTags: image, free image, snapshot, photo, free photo, sunset
