Some days are better than others
As many of you know, every Friday I make an attempt to photograph for an hour by several ponds that are next to the building where I work. In the past I have gotten some nice shots there, but not every day is the same…
I took this shot with my 180mm macro while I was trying to get close enough to the ducks. They were very friendly, but I was asking too much to get that close to them. I’m sure if I was patient and sat there for awhile one of them would have come close, but this is the only shot of the bunch I didn’t delete.
I had thought for sure that insects would be going crazy that day. After all, it was the first somewhat warm day after a long cold spell. Alas, I couldn’t find much of anything short of a few pill bugs and harvestmen that didn’t stay still.
The end result was I wound up with this millipede. I kind of liked how it rolled up so I did a crop without much of the background.
I’m not sure if the crop really helps here though. What do you think?
