Black-tailed Skimmer [Orthetrum cancellatum]

So, I'm affraid there is nothing left, they wouldn't repair my camera.........................it will be 1 month at least that I can afford to buy one. So, beware, there will be some from the magic bag. These were taken with Canon 5D, not the close up of 7D.

  2. Well Bob, these do not disappoint! Although camera equipment is important, I believe it's the person behind the camera that makes the magic happen.

  3. Great shot of a fly I've never managed to see.
    It must be serious if it can't be repaired. What happened?

  4. I don't know, over time, it got worst and until I couldn't handle it. Maybe, it could be me.........

  11. Así como a la hora de pescar lo importante es el pescador, no la caña, a la hora de fotografiar lo importante es el fotógrafo. Espero que pronto tu equipo esté ok. Un abrazo,

  21. That's bad news about the camera Bob. I hope it's not too long before you find a replacement and the team is working at full strength once more?
    In the meantime I'm sure that the old magic bag will do you proud?
    Great shots of the Black-tailed Skimmer btw...[;o)

  25. Hi Bob,

    I'm curious about your camera. Is it your 7D that's broken? I have a &D that needs to be repaired so I'm wondering what has happened to yours.

    1. Sorry I don't say much, but it is the stroke. Well, the camera was getting bad, it was losing focus, eventually it became totally worse.
