I love a good cat picture!

You never know what monsters may be lurking in your yard.

Thanks for the kind words. This time of year, macro is the most accessible for wildlife photography. The heat and humidity here can be rather oppressive for other types of outings, especially at my age. When I was in my early 20s, I could mow the lawn in 90+ degree heat and barely be damp under...

You probably know this but just for clarity, as long as you have the metadata in your image file, which the ones you posted do, others with a browser add on can read the data about your photo. For example, the photo you posted above was shot at 19mm on 08/08/2012 at 17:49:56, focus at infinity...

Great shot! Hummingbirds are notoriously hard to shoot.

I decided to try a different aspect ratio composition on the frog picture. Not sure if I like it better than the 3:2. It seems to have better balance.

Managed to get a better shot, IMO, of this guy today. I would have liked to have done a focus stack on this, but it was an awkward position making it extremely difficult to take a series. I thought about getting my tripod from the house and try and put it in position, which would have destroyed...

Around here they are most commonly seen feeding in shallow water.

The only thing I would advise is to call and find out what the cost is likely to be. Then check out the price of a used copy of this lens. I had a 105mm micro with a problem. The estimated cost to have it repaired was more than the cost of a used in excellent to like new condition. The other...

Slide rule. You're telling your age.

And one to add to the really strange critters. This is a squash bug nymph. I have a lot of the adults in the yard, but this is the first nymph I've seen. Had to do some research to find out what it was. For some reason it doesn't really photograph that well. I guess it's too busy to clearly...

The turnaround happened right around the time that "smart" phones hit the market. Coincidence?

Well, Debby played havoc with my small wildflower plot. Been waiting all week to post this: Things broke for a while today, and the bees were hungry.

I don't believe the internal battery is user replaceable.

Check out the link I posted in my last post. It looks exactly like the photo the OP posted. This is the image from that link. Like I said, it's for mounting a Nikon G lens to a Fuji X series body.

I'm afraid there is no way to avoid the vignetting of a DX lens mounted on an FX camera body. The lens simply does not have enough coverage to fully cover a full sized sensor, as they are designed for cameras with a sensor half that size. You can still use a DX lens on an FX camera, it just has...

When we always said when I used to to dive the rivers here, looking for artifacts, "I'd rather be lucky than good any day.".

So, were those done with the flash/softbox setup you posted a picture of?

Feel free to post them. I don't consider it a hijack.
