I have redefined my relationship with my computer. I think it might truly have repaired itself.

I posted this once, but am not sure everybody saw this. My apologies to everybody whose pics and posts I haven't commented on . . . yet . . .

wanted a sunflower, had to settle for a daisy

June 14th 165/365 "Bug's Eye View"

Thanks for the comments! June 13th 164/365 "Sunset Stars" I'm always amazed at what the camera sees that our eyes don't. I wanted to get some star trails but with a little bit of sunset glow left. Unfortunately, I somehow screwed up the interval setting and got only 8 pics in 1 hour. So...

June 12th 163/365 "Blue Flax" (I think)

I took 90 shots (varied background and lighting) and got 45 that I really liked . . . lots of interesting shapes and variations like the one below. Only the first 5 were out of focus, which really delighted me . . . it did take me aver an hour to get everything set up.

Thanks, Jen and Chris! Monsoon season has officially begun, but not a cloud in sight :-( June 11th 162/365 "Drop"

June 10th 161/365 "Little Gifts" So grateful to have found this little rose bud tucked away among the weeds.

Thank you all for the comments! June 9th 160/365 Lucia wrestling with her "uncle" Jimmy . . . he pretends that she's top dog.

June 8th 159/365 "Resilient. . ." . . . little weeds growing in the back pasture despite the lack of rain. They're trying.

June 7th 158/365 "Deep Red Carnation"

I'm not sure the "sky" will be doing much more that what I got yesterday. So here's my entry WITH LOTS OF TIME TO SPARE! :p;):cool:

June 6th 157/365 "Hope Drifting"

Handheld, no tripod, and yes, from the balcony. Thanks for the comment, Ken. More than the D2X, it was the 24 mm lens at f/1.4 that really cut back on the noise. The lens and camera combination affects noise as well as the camera settings. This is just incredible glass, and yes, I rented it...

June 4th 155/365 Did something for just me today . . . went to see a performance of "Don Quixote" by our local ballet group. Really extraordinary talent in such a little town! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

June 3rd 154/365 "Sloppy Spider Web" Wanted to try something a little different . The spiders around here don't seem to build nice, neat and compact webs.

That particular shot is actually a combination of 15 shots. The soft focus in the front and back was unintentional. I posted the exif data below and an "original" shot of what it would look like with a 24mm lens at f/1.4 at 1/125. The focus is on the front heart, and very shallow depth of...
