Grass, water, swampy soil. Lots of wind, and a cat just behind me. Black.

I found this shiny little guy making his way across the forest floor; moving slowly enough that I was able to unmount the 70-300, pack it, and then unpack and mount my macro lens before he'd even gotten half a meter away. Lovely little bug(ger).

I've uploaded this image in full size so that you may appreciate the level of details. Aside from minor cropping and a little vignette, the image is untouched. The 7D and 100/2.8 macro-combo can really deliver when given enough light to work with.

Who said I didn't know how to take pictures of food? Nobody, that's who! Plenty of light and a wide-aperture lens, and you're practically done. No biggie.

The cake wasn't really a lie, by the way. I just said that to keep you on your toes.

Mønsted Limestone Cave - locally known as Mønsted Kalkgrube. A series of tubes that go so deep underground, all contact to the outside world (ie. my phone) was cut off just a few metres in. After that, it was just silence, darkness, and thousands upon thousands of bats. The place is amazing.

We came across this derelict pump while walking along a desolated beach. First we thought it might still be working - that was until I peeked inside the gas tank and found it filled with sand.
