A capture of a capture...

72374209-L.jpg

This was an unplanned and unexpected surprise. I had just returned from trying to fall in the river (a fast deep river) trying to get a shot at some Turkey Vultures that were roosting on an island. Didn't get a shot!!! Being very discouraged...these guys showed up to lift my spirit. I just started shooting when the dragonfly got snatched.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks very much, Harry.

    I kinda thought someone was going to say the DOF was too shallow. I thought it was okay because the point of focus is the "focus " of the shot. Did that make any sense? rolleyes1.gif
