Hairy Legs

Most of my shots are not captured macro as I believed it can be quite achievable with a macro lens and start firing flashes with a pre-determined settings. My preference is to include the background as part of my composition. That to me is a challenge.

If you sense the potential for a good photograph, you wait, you wait and you wait. Then in a fleeting instant, you grasp it like a predator and relish the moment…..Marc Riboud
