Typical Canberra winter July 1982, you don't want to stand in one spot too long or you would end up like this prostrate cotoneasta. Had some fun evenings trying to keep the scopes from icing up in those days.
ice cubes on a black bench illuminated by a green laser. As I expected, rather than shootin thru the ice cubes the laser bounced around within the pile making them look like they are glowing
Taken 25 April 2007 Canon 400D Macro setting. This tiny spider in the pic has a very small droplet of water on its abdomen (need to zoom in). Pic of spider located in "comments thread".

Here is a pic I took a couple of years ago with the trusty ixus. It was an amazing day, while spotting sun dogs I happened to look a bit higher in the sky and WOW , we saw a circumzenithal arc.
I've included a very rough jigsaw of the sky to show the size of this thing. It lasted a good 10-15 minutes. Even the neighbours came out to see what was going on.
Here's a pic a few of you may have seen before. I gave it some moderate Photoshop tweaks (contrast, saturation, sharpness, cropping). It is a glacier on kawa kampo mountain in South West China . Taken in September 2005.
They sure know how to make you welcome in NZ. There is a lake in the background, I know because I saw it only 10 mimutes before the picture was taken!19/09/2005 And it was COLD!! Margaret (my lovely better half) kept telling me.
the keyhole of my car.
