Depth of field - take your pick

If you've ever tried photographing dragon flies you'll know that sitting still is not in their character. Now bring a 120-500mm lens on a tripod into the picture and try and sort out the depth of field for a particular shot.........

My result was slightly different with the two shots I succeeded in getting off...............so red or blue, take your pick.

Red.........

.......or blue?

Skywatch Friday - Double rainbow

It was a wet and rainy afternoon and the inclination was to curl up in bed with a good book, but with a view like this the bed and the book could definitely wait.

Skywatch Friday - Golden Skies in the Baviaanskloof

Out chalet, at Doringkloof Farm in the Baviaanskloof valley, was nestled in a basin over-looking a small dam. The front porch faced East, which was not the best view to enjoy the sunset and with the light rain that was falling, the temptation was to remain inside and enjoy the limited view we had. But something about the colour of the sky prompted me and Suzie to leap into our vehicle and head out for the open spaces where we could experience the sunset............and we were not disappointed.
