Nikki Sue Nikon's Aerial Circus

[fstopMike]

Nikki Sue Nikon likes Summer and all the activity that goes with it. She's been pushing me really hard to go exploring. "I need to feel photons falling on my sensor", she says. So I obliged her. We went out and found these flying things.

They're acrobatic:





They defy gravity:





They're contorsionists:





This volunteer didn't fare too well when the magician tried to saw her in half!



Nikki Sue and I hope you've enjoyed the circus!

Can't get dragonflies around here...they never stop....maybe I smell bad? Like your shot of it in flight....very original.

Nikki Sue needed to feel photons on her sensor.

Did you find flying things, yes you did
Were they acrobatic, yes they were.
Did they defy gravity, the flying ones did.
Were they're contorsionists, I wouldn't want to place my legs in that position.
Did the magician saw her in half, don't try this at home.

Thanks Nikki Sue we enjoyed the circus, great set especially the first two with the pin sharp focus and wonderful DoF.
Can you and Mike come back soon, good, don't leave it too long next time

Marvelous captures Mike. What glasses did Nikki Sue have on when you were out and about?

Thanks Mike and Nikki Sue for taking us on an enjoyable visit to the circus. The acrobatic is definitely a grand sight to see and I felt the pour volunteers pain when the magician tried to saw her in half. I can't wait to see what other places you and Nikki Sue are going to take us too.

What a lovely set to show what interesting things dragonflies can do! you surely have a sharp eye and a fast hand reflex to shoot these so clearly!

Here's a hint....scent du dragon #14. $35 per bottle at fine stores near you! But be careful, too much and you'll wind up in picture #3
