Frog on a Rock

While spending some time at the riverside, I noticed a frog sitting on a rock in the water. He held still just long enough for me to expose a single shot, then he dove into the water and hid under a rock.

I like the way the shape of the rock mimics the shape of the frog – or is it the other way around?

I was just leaving the house when I spotted the dragonfly that I had been after for days finally sitting still on a rosebud.

Unfortunately I did not have time to grab my DSLR – fortunately I had the G9 ready in a pocket and managed to squeeze off a few shots before I had to run. I am rather pleased with the depth-of-field (or lack thereof) from such a small sensor.

This summer, I was fascinated by some yellow flowers in the garden that seemed to hold an almost magical attraction to bees.

I took this picture using an extension tube and a tripod. The problem with this setup was that the area in which the image was sharp was about 3-4 mm in depth and there was a breeze blowing. The swaying of the flower made it go in and out of focus, so I lost quite a number of interesting pictures due to lack of sharpness.

Does anyone have an idea what the name of the flower is?

Mountain Photos

I added some pictures I took while in the mountains with friends this summer.

You can find more mountain images in the gallery.

In case you are wondering: no, the photos where not all taken in the same location or even on the same trip. 😉
