Well Im starting to catch up to the present now, Im only a week or so behind. Here are the photos from a visit to RSPB Rainham MArshes. Unfortunately all the photos have a blue hue/bias to them: this is because the white balance changed itself to 'tungsten' - probably while in my bag after I put the camera away while on auto off. It came as quite a relief when I found out as I thought the sensor/processor was broken in my camera!

Anyway, at Rainham some roach were swimming in one of the ditches

A cinnabar moth caterpiller was crawling up a stem

A female emporer dragonfly was egg laying

And a marsh frog posed beautifullly - shame its a bit blue!

Yes, if you shoot in raw, you can correct that on the computer. Still, great shots! Fish are very difficult to photograph!

Thanks folks. I did have a bit of a play but couldnt quite get rid of the blueness, without the image degrading too much. I have a raw of the frog I might have proper go with later though
