What a terrible combination! Just came back, my 'Community Messages' list is overflowing, shot over 2000 pictures which I have to go through to see which ones I think are good enough to submit, got awesome comments from even more awesome artists and even submitted some links to the while being on holiday! Are there groups for this out there? I hope so... Otherwise I'll start one.

No just kidding... Of course holidays are awesome, but the time you have to spent to process them... Haha!

BTW. Thanks you so much again for all the support, comments, 's and ! I'm flattered... And OMG I just (now) reached 1000 placed comments and so many more will follow... Can you image how many hours I spent typing?

But anyway, I learned a lot during my holidays. While the weather was terrible, I still wanted to shoot outside. To be able to shoot flying bugs, I had to use flash to crank up my shutter speed. This gave very interesting results and I've used it a lot. (Even when the sun was shining!). You'll see some results coming up the next days. The combination with manual focus was very powerful! I was actually chasing my little friends! (Damn, they're fast...)

If anyone has some questions about the shots I took or how I shot them, feel free to ask. I'd be happy to share the techniques I've used. And please tell me if you think things can be better or different. Can't stress enough I want to learn from my pictures and the mistakes I've made! I'm still learning... (And will always be!)

Thanks again SO much for all your support!! It means the world to me...
