Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) I guess I found my challenge subject. I was just going to the neighborhood greenhouse to get tomatoes and this guy flew over me with his powered chute. Took a few shots and followed him to his landing spot.

Well Kent, the spot metering would help you to understand how contrasty the scene is and it could give you better details in the shadow, if that's what you want to emphasize. But in this case, if you shoot RAW, you could use ARC to make one copy exposed for the highlights, then one for the...

Here it goes;

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) If I keep looking, I find things. Just a water glass over a tablecloth, with a little magic. 35-70 2.8, D90, 640 iso, 1/13 f 5.6 hand held with a magnifying glass held over the lens.

With too much time on my hands because of cancelled appointments, this is what I did. Enjoy,

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Played with the lens baby this morning and thought of this. I named it "Focus Pocus" :rolleyes:

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Not much today since I came back too late from work. Just a slug. Good thing these don't move fast since the light was almost out. D700, 1/80, f 2.8, Sig 105 macro.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Thank you all for your comments, they are appreciated. I'm having so much fun with this macro lens. Today is the ant and a flower shot from sunday that I had forgotten about. Both shots were done with the D90 which is a very fine camera. The ant...

Hi Doug, Nice shot. I agree with Chris that tractors are nicely treated by HDR. The only thing I find about your pic is the green overcast. Now this could be your monitor that is not color balanced (or mine) or you could have gone a little further and correct the cast with PP. I took the liberty...

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) What I missed Because macro work is so so tight, I missed the two spiders face-off. It just happened too fast. Here are 2 pics that show the green one that was hiding behind the flower while I was taking the first shot that I uploaded before. The...

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Same flower than this afternoon, different twist. It was getting dark, I had to bring the iso up and there was the spider. iso 1600, 1/125 f2.8 D700 sigma 105 macro. iso 3200, 1/200, f 2.8 same camera and lens. And a little bit of PP. :)

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Working at home in the shop so I just went outside for a few minutes and came up with this. It took quite a few since macro work and wind don't mix up so well.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Ah, I forgot one… this is just me. The flying lesson from papa duck.

OK, I had someone in mind for this but things turned out differently. As I was taking notice of a spiderweb filled with dew this morning, I noticed that the reflections in the tiny droplets looked like eyes. So I called it the eyes in space. Taken with the D7000, Sigma 105 macro, 1/100 @2.8 Iso 500.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) One more HDR I did this afternoon for the love of clouds.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) OK, couldn't help myself and did some more shots this morning. I'll try to spread them so I don't bore you with my stuff.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) Rain and other obligations won't let me shoot today so I've reworked on one of last year's capture. PP is getting easier with constant practice.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) today's pick. Nice couple that I've known for around 20 years. Nice people, good piano.

Re: Today's Pic (not 265-2011 but maybe close) I have to leave early tomorrow and won't have time to post so I'll post my picture for tomorrow tonight. Did it just this afternoon. This exactly shows this person's character. Some like it, some don't...
