Nice colors on that dragonfly!
Chris I can't compete, lol that lens & gear you have just kicks ass mon ... very very nice 
Edit: and the man behind your cam is no slouch, great work!
Certainly not great shots below, but both on the same river, with nature just around the bend behind buildings. First one is feeble attempt at HDR & muted color with the limitations of gear and the second nature shot was just luck being in the right place, lol.

Good stuff man, practice...practice and more practice. I have only really been shooting for last 3 years. I want to take some real courses. I have about 7 - 10 friends that take pictures for a living. That last dragonfly I was hand holding camera and that was with a Canon t1i if I recall. I use a monopod when shooting birds and tripod on most insects. I dig the reflection shots.
I dig this time of year in my yard for bird pics!

I have a few pro friends too and what they do is amazing, I don't have the hard core photography drive but kinda know what I'm doing at times, lol. I prefer to just go out and have fun with it. Sometimes I'll go weeks without shooting anything and other times I get the bug to keep on it ...
I know these aren’t great pictures, since I don’t have a nice telephoto lens for my digital only old school 35 which I rarely use these days. I was happy to discover this nesting Yellow Crowned Night Heron mom & 4 babies along our river next door very small vacant lot. I have mo of the babies growing so I'll post along the way in thread ...
I love the pic of the frog but I'm guessing that's a tilt/shift effect and not a tilt shift lens?
Nope, it was a Sony point and shoot with nothing else done. That was from a trip to Panama.
Is it cropped from a larger photo? Just looking at the Brokeh being almost horizontal lines across the photo, DOF wouldn't do that.
It's a great photo I'm not saying it's not

Oh no worries and yes cropped to kill the backlight. Here is the original.Is it cropped from a larger photo? Just looking at the Brokeh being almost horizontal lines across the photo, DOF wouldn't do that.

Once again I got a new wallpaper from some shots I see here and the dragonfly got me thinking about my shutterbug days. Started digging and found many I could share along with a metric sh!t ton of memories that made a simpler search through discs into a 1.5 hour event.
So here a nice little one from a visit years ago to the local butterfly house
And here are some of a dragonfly that landed on a neighbors screen 4 houses down. I got the branch and he climbed on for the walk down to my house and inside waited patiently while I set up the background. After his shoot I took him outside and as soon he we got ut the door he was off. Celebrities never want to stick around and chat after a shoot. Oi!
