Oh. Dragon flies. I've got a couple of those. Here's one doing the alien thing. Popping out of his under water skin
Spends a year, maybe more, under water then climbs up a stem and anchors himself then slides out the back doing a back flip till he comes round and grabs his old skin
and sits there a while pumping up his wings. Once wings are pumped up he flies to a nearby bush to bask in the sun drying his wings.

Its a Tawny Frogmouth, none to impressed with getting its picture taken it seems.. And as you see this is attached male of the species..

The D750 is a nice camera, good choice. I think the 1.4 TC is vignetting the shot a bit, I tried a 2x TC on the Z6 it was terrible cropping and loosing a few pixels was much better, so I didn't buy it.. But I might try a 1.4 because that is still a great picture.
The vignetting was added post processing to make the Hare pop. The x1.4 teleconverter does not have any vignetting on the full frame view.
Ah OK, I know the 2x does vignette with a full frame.. All the more reason for me to look at at a 1.4, thanks for that....

A bit better than the ones I got in Sheffield tonight when I took the dogs out 
Most of those are stacked 40 to 90 second subs, 80 of them in some cases. I'm getting too old to stay up until 3 in the morning for days....A bit better than the ones I got in Sheffield tonight when I took the dogs out

9/10/2024, 14 image panorama, Nikon D750, 14 to 24mm F2.8 Lens, normal tripod (set up level). Lower Hook Beach, New Zealand.
Whirlpool Galaxy, Should have spent more time on this one...but it was 3 in the morning and time to crash...
So, having been away for a week, Here is a picture I took. And its what happens when you fall asleep in your camp chair at 1.00 am and wake up with the roosters leaving your camera running. The gear tracked the sky beautifully whilst I was stacking Zs.. I do some of my best work with my eyes shut, quite clearly..
It was over 200 ,40 second exposures with the camera cooled to -15. Sleeping on the job will certainly be considered next time Im outback..That's a fantastic image Shaun,
Carved this Z3 image onto my pumpkin ~ what do you think ,,,
