Continued... Day 290 - Grasshopper Found this guy on the sidewalk.

Re: spiders Probably my last spider photo of the year as winter is creeping in and these little guys are getting harder to find. Saw this little guy jumping around like a frog. He was so curious as I was trying to take his picture and the noise kept peeking his interest that at one point he...

Day 290, 2013 - Spider Saw this little guy jumping around on some concrete. I think he was part frog. These guys are so fun to watch, they are incredibly curious, and such a cool face that I am going to miss these guys during winter.

Day 289, 2013 - Light and Moon Fun My daughter and I went out to mess around with swinging an LED light around and beating the crud out of ourselves doing it. It's harder to swing a light around than it sounds. While walking back I decided to shoot the moon as well. LED fun! Moon Shot...

Day 288, 2013 - Snaps My favorite black licorice candy.

That was tough and messes with your eyes. ​

Day 287, 2013 - Playing with the moon. Not as sharp as I would like, thin layer of clouds in the air.

Day 286, 2013 - Splash It's raining outside so I thought I would catch this splash. Funny thing is this was the very first shot and I didn't capture another one half as good.

Bees in flight.

Re: spiders Then I hit the jackpot with this giant. It is a Banded Argiope. The large rear section was slightly smaller than my thumb width. When I first saw this one hidden in the bushes I thought it was a toy. I quickly through my 40mm macro on and crawled into the bushes hoping I would not...

Re: spiders Went on a spider hunt and didn't have much luck so I was happy when I found this little guy.

Day 285, 2013 - Bee In Flight

I have the NikonAF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED with VR and the NikonAFNIKKOR 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 G and wanted to see how much of a difference there is between these lens and the cost difference. Obviously this is not for my help since I have both, but figured someone else might find this...

Day 284, 2013 - Lens Comparison I have the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED with VR and the Nikon AF NIKKOR 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 G and wanted to see how much of a difference there is between these lens and the cost difference. Obviously this is not for my help since I have both, but...

Day 283, 2013 - Night Rain Nothing wonderful tonight. Just a gee wiz I wonder what it would look like to shoot the rainy wet sidewalk at night. Nothing spectacular, but it satisfied a curiosity.

Day 282, 2013 - Beautifully Painful This plant (used above in the unsuccessful flash focus stack) caught my eye when I was riding my bicycle home. However, many beautiful things in the desert will really hurt you, kind of like everything in Australia seemingly will kill you. Not sure why that...

Day 282, 2013 - Flash Focus Stack Continuing to test the range of focus stacking. I was truly impressed with yesterdays test. However, taking pictures to stack using a flash does not work so well and causes some oddities in the photo. This is a slice of that stack made up from ten shots.
