We don't have fire flies where I live, we had them where I grew up as children we would catch 20 or 30 and put them in a glass jar with holes in the lid and put them in our room at night for a few hours then we would let them go free again. 
They are incredible to watch.

It is the same here. When I was child, I could see fireflies everywhere, but nowadays only in small pristine areas where there has been virtually no development. Now, being able to see fireflies is a kind of bless, as it represents higher air quality and unpolluted environment.

Oh. Nice night shots.
BTW, where do you live? Thailand?

Yesterday I saw a strange insect in my apartment. I am identifying this creature.

Naeree,

Wonderful pics. I love the shrine, you caught the spiritual feel so well.

The light globe is a classic - Matt take heart, there are incredible images to catch everywhere, we just have to keep our eyes open!

Barbie, I think that is a Leaf Insect.

Oh and I love Bangkok and the lovely people there, I was in Bangkok for the WPATH conference a few years back. It has a special place in my heart.

I guess it is a kind of exotic species, probably from China by global warming.

A few years ago, I had a chance to visit Bangkok, but I gave it up because of too tight schedules of travel abroad. Probably I will visit there soon!

No it may be impressive but it isn't good. The thing I have about macro lenses is focus, it is extremely hard. Most of that pic is not in the focus i want - yes I want some blur, but I feel I have way too much blur. I like the texture but that is post photo manipulation.

I would like critique and advice.

What is bad about the pic and what may be good? I'm a big girl and I can take criticism.

Slaughter the pic!

Teach the photographer!

Sorry for the dumb tech question here, but how do you go about inserting images as you are? Do you put a link with the image location between the HTML "img" things? Or what?

Use []'s instead of ()'s but:

(img)insert image url here(/img)

For example,

Code Select Expand

BTW, Cindy, your blurred photo look like a painting. Yes, sometimes a tripod is unavailable, making it difficult to focus in macro mode.

Thanks!

I don't consider myself particularly talented or technically skilled with photography, but I do really enjoy it. Self-portraits were a really big part of how I took ownership of and celebrated my new image when I transitioned, and ever since, I'll occasionally get an idea for a series and run with it.

Like, I decided to do a shoot juxtaposing a nice fancy gown I found at a thrift store (very lucky find ) with an abandoned coal plant that I'd explored a few months before. Here's a few shots from that:

   

Another idea I had once was to do a shoot with my motorcycle that resembled the way people often get pictures taken with their horses, nuzzling up to them and so forth. Here's a few of those:

   

And more recently, I got really into a book-length poem by Mark Z. Danielewski called Only Revolutions, which is all about a long road trip taken by two teenagers with lots of neat lines about nature and landscapes and travel and things, and so I decided to take some shots in different areas and print lines of his poetry on the images and then add some borders and play with the colors and lighting a little. Here are a few of those:

   

It's all amateur stuff of course, but it's something I enjoy a lot. Hope you like

They look professional!
Yes. You have a photo-friendly environment. Enjoy there.
