New old nikkor 55 1.2. Interesting lens.

Thorn flowers with a fly trying to attack a Japanese Beetle.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Actually from yesterday but still an interesting (I don't know what it is exactly) beast.

Strange that I just took these this afternoon in Quebec and you post the "look alike" beast. Took these with Sigma 105 macro + 12mm extension tube.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Today's an undergrowth (HDR heavily filtered afterwards) that I saw going to my customer. So you get both for the price of one ;). Enjoy and feel free to comment.

Great portrait with fantastic expression. Focus is right on the eyes and they are attractive. I might have cropped it a little tighter to see more of her eyes and hide the fact that she seems to curve her back. Now mine entitled "Sulkiness"

Not as spectacular as my HDR practice, I like this one because of the human interest. This is what people do with sunsets, they watch them.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) It seems I'm stuck with this macro thing for now. I find it takes a lot of patience and it's quite something to just get the darn things in focus hand held at that distance. For this bee shot, I kept having problems with the flower moving until I...

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Today's pick.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Thanks Jen, Pete, Kim and Chris for your support. Here's today's picks from a 30 minutes walk around the lake in Sherbrooke.

I think that what you are seeing is caused by haze. Warm weather will cause a decrease in contrast with the distance. Happens very often in the summer. Took your original and just added some contrast and I think it got rid of the cast.

Nice shot Pete. Just one note, underwater shots have to be color corrected. Here's my trial at color balancing your last shot. Do you think it looks better?

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Maybe not a super picture, but it was the first time I saw this beast in the red version.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Last night's clouds were just spectacular. No need to use effects beside a little saturation and contrast adjustments. We then had lightning that were like non-stop for about 3 hrs. Summer storms are in.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Patience and practice. Nice simulated sunset HDR. D90,18-105 200 iso.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Just a little practice for this week's challenge while taking my daily walk tonight.

No idea what this one is but I liked it.

Just for fun, one question.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Two from today. First the freshly clipped Lama that I met on the road to the next picture. This customer has 2 grand pianos in a very tiny studio (actually a shed). It's so cramped that I don't even have enough room to take the actions out for...
