Description Took over at my parents yesterday. There were actually 2, sitting nose to nose, as I was pulling out my camera...in my head I'd even titled it " mr & mrs"!!! Needless to say by the time I'd got everything set up...it had kindly walked away!!!
So anyway, shot this on their wrought iron gate

Thanks for viewing

I know a funny version of that song and I sing it when I'm tipsy!

Well I think this makes up for it. Next time you'll get them together.

Show me the way to my habitual abode,
I'm fatigued and I wish to retire.
I had an alcoholic beverage sixty minutes ago,
and it's gone straight to my cranium.
Wherever I may perambulate, on land or sea or atmospheric vapour.
You will always hear me harmonising this melody:
Show me the way to my habitual abode.



And I've never seen Jaws!

Not bad....you've never seen jaws!!!
They sing it late, when it's dark...first night at sea...drinking

I saw this film when I was 12 ( I think?)...never ever been in the sea since

That doesn't sound like my kind of film... I'm fairly scared of the sea as it is!

Cheers matey

Not much of a shot, I know... but purely for detail..I love it...so I took it

If you've read the description, you'll know the history behind this shot...what I didn't tell...I literally had the shot to die for through my viewfinder!!!..the bird that had walked away, was in my sight, as I scanned for it, walking towards me, legs open, tightrope walking at my lens...couldn't fire the shutter!!! my camera was on remote shutter ...

Wow the detail is amazing, I love macro shots.

Shame you didn't get the shot you originally wanted but this came out beautifully! That spot on it's side looks like a heart that fell over!

Cheers glad you liked it indeed

It was taken using extension tubes, gives a way closer macro image, but the focus is on a seriously small focal plane...so I just focused on the textures on it's body, hence the light dimples
