Vincent 2015 as often as possible

[Vincent]

Architecture, just an other one of yesterday:

Tree, had some other things going on lately, hope to get out a bit more again:

Row of cows, visited a farm.



I like the involvement of the cows looking at the camera. But the first cow looks too much out of focus and I somehow did not get the colour I expected.

Nice one

Just think...all those cows were raised on a farm! It goes to show that farmers are very important.

This one was born the day before:



But the story is sad, not a lot of medical care for the animals, financially just not feasible.

Very nice shots.

Japanese cherry tree (macro test):



This one is on a protected place and a bit early, I believe the little brown spots indicate drops of water that froze in early morning and damaged the flower.
A lot of extension tubes on the Osawa, not flexible and difficult to hold still hand held, but it works.

After seeing one of these recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmE8hIJhC9o
I used it to get this picture more clear:



Somehow I stopped after getting the shadows cleared, I picked it up again later:

Nice shots Vincent....enjoying your thread!

Doorknob, did not shoot a lot lately, not a good sign:

 

[Vincent]

Spring is coming, had been struggling to get this picture, it is difficult to set up the tripod and did not get there when there was good light, my new lens on my new camera helped:

Spring test with Tammy 90mm Macro, learning to zoom with my feet:

 

[Vincent]

Fern, I was comparing the Tammy 90 to the Nikon 70-200. Here the 70-200 wins, but I noticed that getting closer can really be a big advantage in nature and then the Tammy is unbeatable.



The edit on the Tammy (as well as the composition) seems better so before posting:

Orchid, the big bulb is smaller then my pink IRL (I`m 1m86), I tried extreme macro, but the DOF was so small I got nothing interesting out of it:



Looking at the EXIF I should change my auto ISO settings a bit more, seems I should consider going M more often again.

Daffodil:

Lens test, I was actually just testing the AF on my Vivitar 19-35, which I had never tried. It seems this came out, I was positively surprised.

Happy Birthday Vincent!

Time to get posting again. Test of my Nisi ND1000 filter.



I really want to work more around the little streams, but seem to have trouble getting there.
