These grow in ditches in abundance in our area. This was in our garden though.

I'm curious about this shot. With an exposure of 132 second, I would expect that ferris wheel to have the interior filled with light, yet there are distinct sections without light. How does that happen? Also wonder why you stopped down to f22, used low ISO and shot for such a long exposure. Did you try some shots with other apertures and base ISO or Live Composite?

This happened because the wheel wasn't moving, it was stationary but the light patterns on it and their animation was changing - it cycles through different patterns/colours. I think it may have moved 10 or so degrees during the exposure. The red lights at the top are two small lights to warn low flying aircrafts.
I just wanted to get a longer exposure time to create light patterns so stopped down to f22. There is a couple of other shots of it on my flickr at shorter exposures and bigger apertures.
I couldn't quite figure out how to use live composite properly. When I tried that it just seemed to mash all colours into white. Maybe I was using too long an exposure?
The fireworks I shot using live composite but i wasn't very happy with the results, the only I have posted here is probably the best out of the lot, threw away most of them.

I dug out my old Vivitar Series 1 70-210 lens that I used with my Canon film cameras and mounted it on my E-M1. Boy, is it heavy compared to my Oly 14-150. However, it took some pretty good images. The one below looked intriguing because of the background. It was very sunny, so I spot metered for the flower, thus making the background somewhat dark.

Out in the garden this morning, huge number of bees and hoverflies on the poppies. Seems I've finally found the sweet spot on the old 14-42 at last. Couldn't get focus on all the activity so most of the 'BiF' (Bees in Flight) shots went to the Trash - few were OK though.

Dang! Those are all really good. The last one is spectacular. You did a good job making the rabbit interesting. You must have been laying on your stomach to take that?

The first three are quite nice. Too bad it was so windy for the fireworks shot.

Welcome to the thread. I like how you captured the sun rays and their effect on the landscape. Well composed for the subject matter you had.

You really can create photos where many of use would have trash. I'm sure there was much in the background that would have distracted.

I like the second the best.

Thank you very much! It was a quick snap originally, would have tried out the 40mp high res mode if I had a tripod. Wasn't sure the image showed correctly in here? Do you guys upload straight to the post or from your dpreview gallery? Thanks for the comments!

Love the detail in that! That looks like a wall picture in the right room!
