Here is my first entry taken today, sept 3rd with a D600, 16-35 f4 @f-10, iso 250, processed with photomatix 3 exposures. These rocks probably have been weathered for about as long as North America has existed.

Sept 3rd from my road trip. We got to this scenic spot and just couldn't resist:

Took this one last year in Vietnam. Different folks different strokes.

Here's one I got last weekend from my backyard

Sept 2nd, it rained all morning but this afternoon the sun just barely made it out. I took this opportunity to get out and shoot some flowers. But I got a fly and a bee instead of the flowers. Ah, such is life, I've got to take what it gives me. D700, 50 $ 28-80 3.3-5.6 paired with Kenko 1.4 TC...

More macro shots of today: A little wild experimenting with an underexposed picture.

Sept 1st. Weathered apples. They keep falling on my property from my neighbour's tree and she's old and can't pick them up, so I dispose of them in my compost area.

I think I don't use my 70-200 2.8 often enough. I'm always amazed at the clarity and tones that I get with this lens. The way it gathers light is close to perfection. Iso 1250. 1/600 f3.5

August 30th's flower of the day. D700, Sigma 105 macro plus Kenko 1.4 TC. SB-600 flash off camera with on-board flash used in commander mode. Iso 400, f-13. Exceptionally made from my JPEG file that seemed a little softer than the raw one. In this case I prefer the softness for mood. Have a...

Aug 27th. While having lunch on the back porch, looking at Line's wildflower arrangement, I noticed a bumblebee circling around the bouquet. So I went in and got my trusted D700 with the Sigma 105 macro but, to leave more space between me and the beast I used my Tamron 1.4 Tele-Extender. I was...

Agust 26th. My girlfriend Line loves to just go into a field and bring back wild flowers. She did this little arrangement yesterday. Today it's cloudy and dark so I brought them inside, put them on the window ledge and got an HDR view. I kind of like the feel of it, but I'll let you be the judges.

August 25th, morning in the garden, quiet times with cherry tomatoes: ​

Crab apple

August 24th We went and picked crab apples to make Jelly. These little guys were so colourful inside that I had to take a few shots. D-600, Sigma 105 2.8 macro.
