Peeking out of the alga cloud, the curious snake wants to know more about underwater camera. Or maybe just checking his hairdo in the mirror of the le

A bit of editing fun, based upon a slightly altered real story. Faces have been omitted to protect the innocent... ;)

My favorite artist enjoys what she and her camera encounter all around us.
And I'm quietly enjoying the sight :)

Saved from drowning and fishes, the lucky dragonfly dries its wings, safe on the finger of my darling wife.

Lake Ohrid sunset, unique as always. This time it was those cloud ribs, showing some interesting high atmosphere movement bathed in the last sunrays.

It was so sudden as she was a healthy girl so we thought.

Behind The Lens

Location

At our beach, under the house. There are swans that regularly come for a meal, and we are very used to each other, so they'll allow us to take some photos from very small distances.

Time

14:42:42

Lighting

Normal daylight, at Daylight WB...

Equipment

OLYMPUS TG-2, hand-held.

Inspiration

The closeness of the big, beautiful, tame, bird.

Editing

Nothing outside of the usual routine.

In my camera bag

Two cameras; one with more flexible zoom range, the other (this one) waterproof.

Feedback

Tough or amphibious cameras are very closely attached to the idea that they should never be left home. Otherwise, something interesting is going to happen, and if you have no camera, you'll be sorry!
