Hi guys. This is my first entry so here goes. Its nothing fancy just a lady bug i saw walking around and tried to take some shots.
Photo no2. I moved the ladybug and it fell on its back, in an attempt to get back on its feet it was spinning itself around with its wings. Looks strange.

No animals where harmed in shoot!!:D

You know this weeks theme is no longer B/W right? :D

Since Devill has neglected to update the O/P . . . this weeks theme, as prescribed by last weeks winner Tosser, is Radiance. http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showpost.php?p=3219239&postcount=476

Mod_Note: Rather than editing the OP I've adjusted the thread title and, unless there are any objections, will continue to do so. If I forget feel free to remind me via PM. :)

I missed an awesome sunset shot today
I almost did as well. I wasn't working, though I left my camera at home. I was at my dads places though and he rushed into the house and got me his.

I now realised how much I have been spoiled with all the settings I can adjust on my camera compared to battling to find them on his. But we still had fun trying. This is what we came up with (The plane was a bonus)

Hi Guys & Gals

My apologies for the delay in judging, but due to a full day strat session, I was only able to get online now.

So without any further delay, congrats to Kalvaer on his winning submission.

Fabulous shot Kalvaer, great illustration of the radiance theme.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Did anyone get a chance to take anything over the weekend?

I hope the topic isn't to hard, I just keep on seeing all the sea side / country side cliché photo's all over and was hoping to remind us all that there are stunning photo opportunities all over where we work in the concrete jungle. (At leas those of us who do)

I am looking but I am so caught up in studies, a new love life and work that it is a tad difficult to focus on photography :D:p

Blood in my alcohol system messed up my photography this weekend so I know how you feel. Have a pregnant wife is also not easy
