A long overdue photo post - sorry!
Emperor moth - macro of the spot on a wing
The eye of a chameleon - macro.
Flexifoil kiteflyer - taken at Sardinia Bay at lunchtime - ideally more clouds would make this more dramatic.
Hanging fly (some refer to this fly as a crane fly) - head shot between its gangly legs.
Ye olde rain spider - spiders are amazing creatures. I still ponder how they manage to move 8 legs at once or co-ordinate their movement. I managed to get in close to photograph the joints where the legs meet the thorax.
The same rain spider rearing up. I was a little disappointed as this spider had a lot of sand on its body and head. The macro photos of the head and eyes are reasonable, but not ideal due to the sand grains so I have not posted them.
Tiny fly 3mm with mist bubbles on its wings and head
Wasp - delta hottentottum. Well I almost felt how this wasp stings, but somehow managed to avoid being stung. Wish I could find more of these or similar to photograph.
Tetragnatha - long jawed water spider. These photographs were taken at approximately 9pm and I used a flash in the darkness.
Action photography - there was an interprovincial track cycling meeting at the Westbourne Oval. I really like the action sport photography. The effect in this photo is called panning. Focus on a subject, follow it, photograph while moving the camera along with the subjects. Background or other objects is blurred intentionally. What happened in the race - the black and red rider moved up the inside and I focussed on the rider and followed. The photograph represents a moment in the race where the black and red rider caught the others by surprise and moved ahead up the inside of the track.
Remember: Click any photograph to enlarge.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Comments appreciated.

The first two photos are the most impressive !!!!!!!!!! Well done !!!!!
Gosh I love your photos and the natural way you write about the Subjects Zane,
I have the privilege to simply apply a little internet usage, a few typings and clicks to arrive here and be awed with pleasure and surprises every time I visit.
Heaps better than lugging huge books home from the Library or paying out huge amounts to possess a book to experience what I do here.
Then there is the added bonus of visiting here with being able to communicate and become acquainted with the Author.
Have just had a quick browse... with pleasure will return and enjoy more deeply these wonderful photos.
How have your 'Children' and 'Window' photo competition entries fared?
Good wishes to you from Magda(Australia)
I really like that kite picture. Also that long jawed water spider is very impressive. Keep up the great work Zane and hope to see posts more often. Its hard to wait for brilliance - hehehe.
