    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    Macro adventures in... GREEN! (part 3, the end) Ok, this little guy was just doing circles on a leaf, trying to get my attention. He's a darker sort, but still likes to hang out on GREEN! This dude was sitting right in the middle of my African Daisies. Long and skinny, 'til he curled up...

    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    Macro adventures in... GREEN! (part 2) Another long-legged fly, a bit more tattered, and not quite as green... BUT STILL GREEN! No bugs for a couple of shots, just blooms. First, the inner workings of a cone flower still holding on to a few drops of the recent rain. Lots of different...

    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    Macro adventures in... GREEN! (part 1) BUSY weekend, but had a moment of sunlight peeking through after the last thunder shower, so ran outside really fast like with the Raynox DCR 250 on to get close-ups of the tiny things. Ended up VERY green, so here ya have it! The long-legged fly...

    Had the chance to catch one of the races at Tulsa Tough this weekend... got a few pics of the races, to be sure, but this one was taken just for the "art".

    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    Goofing around at a local cemetery on the way home, and found an interesting subject or two... just toying around with edits tonight. OF COURSE, after weeks of rain, we had an all clear sky when I could have used some dramatic clouds for a backdrop. ;) On this first shot, can't decide if I...

    New camera advice...

    That pic is useless, @Marcel... it shows getting focus on a lion, but he's shooting pics of TIGERS, duh! (full SNARK, tongue in cheek, dufus humor, bald idiot chuckling mode engaged)

    Post your spiders

    The Maevia Inclemens (per my best guess after about an hour of Google identification) 1st, a juvenile male that I found in the house a couple of weeks ago... Then an adult female I spotted outside while grilling today... Just guessing on the gender based on whether or not the palp was...

    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    Out grilling chicken for a family get together later today, and saw this little lady run off a black jumper twice her size. The other jumping spider I posted was also a Maevia Inclemens (or a "little jumper" as I call 'em), but I've come to find out it was a juvenile male. This is an adult...

    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    A few more... "Together Wish" Ok... I had a bit more fun with this one than I should have, maybe, but with both being nerdy (myself included), and my daughter and I both being HUGE fans of the Lord of the Rings books/movies, I just had to dabble. "Secret Road to Rivendell" "Imperio!"...

    Pretzel and the Gypsy King - A Tale of Adventure (cum a spus de fotografie) for 2015

    Shootin' pics of my daughter and her fiance yesterday evening... I guess informal engagement pics. :) I think they like each other... She's an AVID reader... and liked the look of these books. Since we're nowhere near Pennsylvania, though, do you think I should edit out the...

    How do YOU take a photo?

    Well said, @hark! Gete out there and practice on specifics, and soon it becomes second nature. My first shot comes a lot faster these days than it did when I was shooting my first homework assignment!

    Adobe Photography Creative Cloud Problems.

    Hopefully what Jake said will work. I didn't realize it was happening with fresh installs, but rather just upgrades. I know it happened even with my LR CC after the last upgrade... GOOD CATCH @BackdoorHippie!

    Resizing Photos For This Site

    Testing, 10x8 format vs. 8x10. Let's see if one looks wider/longer than the other... 10 on the wide side vs. 10 on the long side. Does one appear larger to you, Chris? Edit: To me, the bottom one looks a bit larger overall. It's because the length isn't limited like the width, IMO.
