Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 200720D BEATS THE HEAT !
Since the entire South has been trapped in Global Warming Hell for the past few weeks with no relief in sight, I figured I might as well quit bitchin about the heat and get out in it. So I went to the hottest place I know .... the local marsh in the midday sun. I expected to bake in the sun, but it really didn't feel that hot (only 98° or so). Maybe I'm just getting used to the heat? Anyway, here's a few shots from this afternoon's adventure: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/83804973/original http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/83804975 http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/83804981 http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/83804982 > Since the entire South has been trapped in Global Warming Hell for the > past few weeks with no relief in sight, I figured I might as well quit [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/83804982 Four of your best; very nice work.

How much cropping did you do to get the image appear in 70% of the image, just curious? Oh yeah, and what brand of mosquito repellent do you use? > Since the entire South has been trapped in Global Warming Hell for the > past few weeks with no relief in sight, I figured I might as well quit [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/83804982 Three of these are male Blue Dashers (Pachydiplax longipennis) 83804981 is a female Halloween Pennant (Celithemis eponina) A bit saturated for my taste, but nice none the less. http://www.jlkramer.net/Pictures/halloweenpennantsMW.htm You can only complain about the heat when it's over 100F. :-) It was 105F here last Thursday; mighty unpleasant. > > Since the entire South has been trapped in Global Warming Hell for the > > past few weeks with no relief in sight, I figured I might as well quit [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > You can only complain about the heat when it's over 100F. :-) It was > 105F here last Thursday; mighty unpleasant. Jim, your expertise in the subject of insects is astounding. Helen Only thing I could think was the bugs couldn't set their tails down due to the heat. Great shots Bret. Some of your better close up work yet. By the way, Happy Birthday to you. Draco Getting even isn't good enough. Doing better does. |
