Inspired by the superb work of my friend Rose LaCroix, and needing to post something to the blog I’m criminally neglecting, have a sample of my wildlife and scenic photography, taken on the day of posting. First, the original version. with no editing.
Second, a version with auto-levelling applied in paint.net.
The subject is a female hornet mimic hoverfly, the UK’s largest hoverfly, increasingly common to see, and, it turns out, a wonderfully obliging photographic subject. Still stunned at how good a picture I got, considering I’m using a 13-year-old Fujifilm Finepix S4000 that’s become a little cranky and erratic and has traditionally always struggled with overcast, low-light conditions like this pic was taken in. Old camera clearly still has its moments!
Let me know if you like. If so, I’ll post more. I’ve quite the library at this point.
