Marin County, Cali

I was taking a photograph of the flower, and just as I snapped, this insect flew into the frame. I had thought it was a bumblebee, but after I showed the photo I was informed that it is a moth (Hemaris diffinis) that mimics a bumblebee, both in appearance and behavior. It lingered at the flower for about a second, but my photo caught the tongue extended into the flower.

Thanks, I'm normally fiddling with settings and miss shots like that. I captured a few more as it was on continuous drive 😀

Marin County, Cali

Giro d'Italia, 1985

I had a press pass, so I was in a follow car inside the barriers when we came upon this scene. I only had time for one shot before the police chased me away. The magazines didn't care to run this one.

Magazines have changed since then.

that looks nasty... what happened there (apart from the obvious, a crash)?

MTB tour of Canada's Northwest Territories. We stopped next to a stream for a drink, and heard splashing. This caribou ran up the middle of the creek, with a gaping wound in its neck and a big flap of skin hanging from it.

I like this one because each cyclist gets one shot rather than firing at 9fps then choosing the best.

IMO the vomit shot always wins.

Not mine, but here's an example. A previous favourite was of Stuart dangerous vomming from the top bunk in a Youth Hostel, the vom was about 5 feet long.

[img] [/img]

PMSL @ the vom shot. Surprized it isn't coming out of his ears as well.

I know its not clever, but I do laugh at those face plant shots, where the photographer has lucked it just right and the subject looks perfectly still while balancing on the face / head.

IIRC there was a pic like that in one of the recent issues of the mag.

One my mate got out in Avoriaz a couple years back;
