John and Mark having a conference at Tinchi Tamba Westlands


Cool bugs - the orange bug is the adult of the blue bugs (forgotten what they are called)



Banded Flutterer Dragonfly

Crow Butterfly


Narelle very kindly let me have a play with her 105mm macro - thanks Rel!!




a couple of the barbecue, and some fish for Birddog...



Got some good shots of the 'wet' dragonfly, copperback brood frog and the stick insect, but since others have already posted these guys I thought I'd try and post something different.

Cheers
Judy

Lovely shots. The macros are sweet, very sweet, colours, sharpness, texture, bokeh - it's all good. Going to go drool over a good macro lens! Nice work. Seems like you guys had some fun too! The Sydney meet was good too.

Great shots Judy

Seeing that fish on the barbie has got my mouth watering again

oh yeh ... i can almost taste it again
great pics as well

Nice ones Judy - have you caught up with your sleep yet?

Some great shots there - love the d'fly and the ladybirds gettin' it on!

Some nice images Judy, would like to see your frog shots tho, you certainly took a few!!

Tim

Nice shots
Looks like the gecko family missed a good BBQ!

Cheers
Gecko

Thanks for the great comments everyone.

pgatt - the ladybugs and the fly on the white flowers are the only one's I took with Rel's 105mm Nikkor. The rest were taken with my Tamron 70-300. Not a particularly great lens, but I do like the results I get with it on the macro setting. I don't think it's a true macro though, some of the more technically minded might be able to expand on that a bit. Most of these were cropped as well.

Tim's fish was delicious... should have taken a closeup

Tim - got a couple of okay frog shots, but didn't bother to post them as others had already. I took lots trying out the flash - Rel showed me that I could alter the power of the built in... doh, didn't even know that as I don't use it much

These get togethers are great - so much to learn obviously.

Judy

Neroli and her Tamron in action - shooting the golden dragonfly....





Gecko

A good series of shots there Judy.

It was a great meet and the barbie (especially the fish) was fantastic.

Seeing that snapper on the barbie again has me drooling!

Cheers

Michael

Judy - beautiful shots !!! You certainly took to that lens like a duck to water !! We'll have to go out again, and have another play

Hope the head is ok now? I've only just caught up on sleep (well, kind of anyway lol) ... so know how you felt.

Hugs & was a pleasure to catch up again

Rel & Damo

Hah, snapped in action Gecko!

Thanks for posting that. I usually really dislike pics of myself but this one is great.

Thanks for the comments Michael. I can still taste the fish. (Well, you know what I mean!)

Rel - that'd be great... sleep caught up thank goodness. Had a shocker yesterday, slept nearly all day and ended up waking up this morning with a doozie of a head cold. Didn't go to work, but will have to get real tomorrow and get back into it.

Took a few moonrise pics tonite - man, I've got to do something about cleaning the sensor. Took me forever to clean the pics up in PP
