Jacksonville Beach

I went to the beach on Monday before heading back home to North Carolina, Tuesday.

I have had a wonderful, and hectic, summer in Florida, with family and friends. Thank you to everyone that has made that possible for me.

I looked up the specs for both your Fuji cameras- they both have a macro setting that focuses down to 1cm. That is a GREAT feature of bridge cameras (i love my Panasonic Lumic DMC-FZ18). It appears that you got into that setting for the 5leaf twig in the sand here towards the bottom. I suspect that because the DOF is so shallow. Your close proximity here helps the photo a great deal. Several of your other photos (butterfly wind, green bee and dragonfly) may have benefited from the macro setting. Although the composition for the dragonfly i spot on ;)

A good tip for macro is "GET LOW"... Get down in there, lay down, get real close up. Find a solid angle that makes the image dramatic. Try to capture that photograph that nobody else sees.

Oh yeah- I LOVE to composition and coloring in the red/orange shell. You pulled that together nicely.
