Canadian speed bump

Here is how the Canadians have come up with an inexpensive speed bump. People see these slow down and try to straddle them. after awhile they move them to a different location. The wonders of photography

That is a great idea

In the UK this is reality but they can't be moved
Just new ones appear

Best two shots of the day so far -SX50 and Canon A490

First shot with the SX50 and the second from the Canon A490. I like to take close ups with the pocket sized A490 and sometimes I get great results.

Really like shot 1 - that blue gives the flowers a real vibrancy

On a local farm.

D7100/Sigma 17-50 mm.

I was visiting friends on their 6,000 acre farm & took these during sunny breaks. They grow sugarcane (the main crop around here) & run Angus cattle.

Great shots of the area - I really like the rustic look of a modern race and crate in shot two

I know the rule of thumb for shutter speeds and lens focal lengths for telephoto lenses. However, I am not sure of any for macros. It seems there is a limit as to how fast a shutter one needs with respect to magnification.

Good foundation from which to start with these images.

Thanks for your advice - I think my next purchase will be a macro lens to have a "play" with

Much appreciated you looking in and commenting

My C&C is this...SHOOT THOSE SUCKERS! And I don't mean with a camera. The hopper is very destructive and the spider...well I just hate spiders. ;-) But the pics are great. ;-)

Thanks for your comment Photog8
I'm not a big fan of these guys either but what fun I had today - saw them from a different perspective

Much appreciated you commenting
