I shot some automotive pictures today. Not in my wheelhouse, but I was happy with some of the results. This one image has me scratching my head about composition. This is the image as framed in the camera with no cropping. I like the look of the columns to the right as it brings to mind...

The Pup and I went to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens to shoot some macro. They had a small show of Model A cars in front of the plantation house. I had my trusty 24-70 F4 lens with me, and mounted it up for a few shots.

I think you will find that it is going to be more about post processing, than how they are shot. I have a couple pics I shot of my neighbor's grandkids, and they have somewhat of the same look. I didn't do anything special. They were shot outside, later in the afternoon, so there was no direct...

I'm easily confused.

Peter, I am starting to be able to tell which images are yours, before I look at the avatar. That's not a bad thing, BTW.

Not an explosive, but the nastiest chemical I had in my darkroom was farmers reducer. potassium ferricyanide and sodium thiosulfate I also remember they used to sell antistatic brushes with a little bit of polonium on a strip.

I was trying to photograph some kind of bee on a flower. Suddenly a yellow jacket fly in and grabbed him and flew off with him. This was all I got.

Well, wife is doing better and I was able to get away for a couple hours and see if I could get a few shots at Cypress. It was a reasonably warm day, so there were a few critters out and about. This is probably my favorite. I had to shoot at an awkward stance and had a hard time getting focus...

Welcome. Hope you enjoy the forum and looking forward to seeing some of your images.

I was thinking that I wished I'd had a high magnification setup to get just the eye of the toad. I thought I'd just get an idea of what it would look like by severely cropping the second photo above. I was surprised at how well the image managed with rather extreme enlargement. I did run it...

Walked out in the backyard this afternoon and found this guy. He was very cooperative.

The one time I don't double check my links to see if they work....... Thanks for the save, Woody.

Great WD photos. I was a little obsessed with getting some decent WD pics earlier this year. Around here they are normally very skiddish. There was a small group of them at one location that grew up there with a fair amount of people around. I was able to get fairly close and get some nice...

If all you are looking for is remote release, this should do it quite inexpensively. remote release If you prefer a Nikon brand, they run a little more, but are still fairly affordable. Alternately, you could just use the camera timed release feature. I use that whenever I want to release the...

I only shoot RAW. I could have the camera save a JPG as well as the NEF, but really have no use for a full sized JPG at this point. If I want to see something I shot on a bigger screen while I'm out and about, I have a small card reader that will plug into my 10" tablet and it will load NEF...

Here is a comparison of straight from the camera and after post processing. This is straight from the Z5. Original NEF file with no presets. Subject is a little underexposed, and overall it is a very flat image. Here it is with a little processing. Perhaps a little too saturated for some...

You probably just haven't watched enough Dr Who. The series started in 1963 and is still running, so there are a lot of episodes to choose from.
