Boss photos you've taken

[Bilbo]

A rare sighting at Brockholes in Preston, only 3 other records of the Great White Egret prior to the one currently there. (Part 1).


Couldn't miss the chance to photograph this majestic bird.

I'm certainly not going to try and compete with some of the awesome photos on here. Some great photos guys! Love the macro photography.

Some of my photos are on Tumblr, but haven't updated it for a long time. http://chris154.tumblr.com that's my page so feel free to have a look! There are a small number of pages if you've 5 minutes to kill. Think a couple of my favourites are:

Turns out I can't comply them from tumblr onto here but the Small Cairn in Norway the Birkenau fence and New York at night which I have in a canvas print at home

To windy by far to get anything outdoors. Just a quick crop on a bluebottle shot that was on an apple tree leaf being blustered around by the strong winds.

Your photos make disgusting little creatures absolutely beautiful. And if that's not a definition of great art, I don't know what is. Thanks for sharing your talents.

This caterpillar is curled up against the cool night air - the light is coming only from the left, hence the (deliberate) shadow areas to the right!

Thanks for all the rep points guys, much appreciated.

Popped into the garden with the camera in hand and after a few seconds, this dragonfly suddenly appeared and landed on a nearby leaf. Stayed for just 10 seconds or so before going, but grabbed 4 shutter presses, this being the best.

A slug eating fungus - not what I expected to find when I went out today looking to photograph toadstools and mushrooms...

Then there was tale of the snails - like miniature ones you find on the beach - with long shells rather than round shells...

I also found some black fungus - turns out this is called "King Alfred's Cakes"...

I found a nice mushroom lit by a patch of sunlight and there was a little froglet too, on a fallen moss-covered log. He was posing nicely, but soon hopped off.

Then lastly on the way out, on a fence, another common red darter dragonfly. Nice eyes and chops on these...

Oh, and when I got home, the wife had found a sawfly - first time I've managed to get a shot of one these - probably a male Tenthredo atra (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).

Not a bad day to spend an hour or two with the macro lens at Brockholes Nature Reserves.

This fly was sat on the peony leaf tonight (gone now) and has a nice autumnal look to it thanks to the colours of the turning leaf.

Tonight's Super-moon. Preston. She looks fantastic tonight - and it's the last super moon of the summer of 2014.
