Meet Up! by darylo

Meet Up!

Today was amazing because I had my first 365 Meet Up! I met with @espyetta @tara11 @grammym at a local park and we all went about going after bugs, birds, etc. We shared our ideas about lenses and processing programs--and we enjoyed each other's company the entire time. I have to say I was so excited to meet some 365ers face-to-face and walk away knowing that they are just as wonderful in person as they are online. This is an amazing community!

Today's photo is one of several I took of dragonflies--while at the pond area of the park, these blue dragonflies kept visiting this little branch sticking out of the water. Here are other views of this couple: http://365project.org/darylo/didn-t-make-cut/2013-06-24

I also captured a goose who was a gosling when I first met him--growing pains evident. Feathers are almost there. :) :
Nice one! I like that you got both the Damsel and the Dragonfly. My Dragonfly ones didn't turn out so well :(

@tara11 @princessleia @stimuloog @amrita21 @andyn @bobfoto @swagman Thanks everyone for stopping by to comment. I'm trying to "catch up" but as you know, this summer I'm all over the place, so please forgive if I take some time to get around to all the photos. I'm seeing them all and loving them! Inspiring stuff on this site...I know, I met 3 365ers IN THE FLESH! :)

@darylo - green with envy!
June 27th, 2013  
Love the clarity in your shot! It's a wonderful capture and so perfect with the simple lines and the two dragonflies in it. I'm envious you all got to hang out together! I miss my Chicago buddies.

Jo
Three outstanding shots Daryl, and funnily enough, like you, I also had a 365 meet up today, which was great we had so much to talk about.
June 27th, 2013  
@nanderson If only I could actually tell you what kinds of bugs I'm capturing with a lens! lol!
June 27th, 2013  
@taffy I do hope that if I make it to Chicago or you are in the ATL, we could go snapping together! @jyakota and @vankrey too! :)
June 27th, 2013  
@ness50 it really was a treat!
June 27th, 2013  
@pflaume Some day!! It will happen, I hope!
June 27th, 2013  
@jaynspain You are very kind--oh, can't wait to see what you do with the clip too! :)
June 27th, 2013  
@jo13 thanks Jo! Ahh, a meet up there too! I really hope that if somehow I'm ever in London or you come to Atlanta we'll meet up and take shots and enjoy a meal! Fun!
June 27th, 2013  
@darylo I would love that!
June 27th, 2013  
Lovely capture. The muted delicacy of the colours is wonderful. How nice that you met some 365 colleagues!
June 27th, 2013  
Oh, what a wonderful shot! So happy to hear you had fun with fellow 365ers, sounds fantastic.
June 27th, 2013  
I like how you have both here...great composition! It WAS a great outing, and we need to do it again. I will email you so you will have my contact info, and then we all need to do it again. Well, katy is too far to come to any any time soon....but you know what I mean. Back to your pic, it is like the damsel is "looking up" with respect to the big bad boy Dragonfly! Very cute!
June 27th, 2013  
@darylo That macro clip you got is amazing! And about the bug Identification on future pics you take....I can help with some of them,but the man who always helped me and still does is @robv Robert Velten. He is an expert!
June 27th, 2013  
Amazing capture! Love the pond ripple in the bottom right corner!
June 28th, 2013  
@espyetta Totally up for a redo! I loved meeting you, Tara, and Katie. What a great group of 365ers! Thanks so much for including me.
June 28th, 2013  
Great composition, you appear to be getting some really well trained bugs these days, doing just what you need to make the perfect shot.
June 28th, 2013  
This is very well composed and the dragonfly is stunning! I love dragonfly season.
June 29th, 2013  
all three of your shots are so much better than anything I got. Beautiful clarity, Daryl!
