I`m always looking for interesting, stunning, unusual, or even bizarre photographs or art on the web, and over the last few months Ive found a bit of everything.
Found a lot of HRGiger type art, and lots of good pics on sites like rridgelys recent Cool Pics thread.
For a change, I thought I would post a few of my own that I took back in July last year, shortly after buying my first digital camera. I was looking after my sons two dogs at the time.
All of the pics were taken using the macro close up mode, and they show the detail and clarity you can get with an average Compact Digital Camera.
The first two are taken in his garden. Second two are something else entirely.
This thing jumped across the kitchen bench in front of me, and I nearly had a heart attack, I managed to catch it under a pint glass, which gives you an idea of it`s size. But apart from being scary, it`s actually stunning to look at.
For the nature lovers out there, I released it alive at the bottom of his garden.
Great pic,s Dennis , I still haven,t got My digital camera yet, but looking forward to it. Also Heres a site that has thousands of pic,s on it from, weird, funny, To great photography. Most probably know about it. But just in case. Cowboy
Hazelnut, in post number 6 and post number 10, this thread, there are references to pictures, but on my screen there is no link, no picture. Found the link by clicking on the direct reply option, then going directly to the site in another window. Great pictures, by the way. Thanks.
I am wondering if there is some setting I have set wrong, keeps me from seeing the originally posted link or picture? I can see the link OK in the reply I posted, and sure enough, click on it and there is the dragonfly.
One of the problems with Velvet Ants is that they are so pretty. Scarlet and black, kinda furry, not very aggressive. But if they sting. . .wow. . .The stinger is almost as long as the insect itself. Never been a victim, but have read about it.
I still cannot see the pictures in Hazelnut's post, but can see the other pictures, and the link I copied. No problem, checked all the forum settings, all seems OK.
I did, however, wonder if everyone else can see Hazelnut's link or picture?
