Grasshopper, was sitting on the car hood when I left this afternoon, seems to be good place for pictures:

Berry:

I have the impression that on my PC everything does look a lot brighter then elsewhere, for example on the work laptop. This is the histogram: It clearly shows underexposed. Maybe even if I wanted a dark effect, seems way to low here. I was learning histograms today. Could not choose between...

Rail, still bad weather so parking lots are a good place to try out some things:

Space, some ideas I was playing with before, not happy with the execution, but might try the spots again:

Snail and frog, testing out the Osawa, not as good as the 70-200mm, but a lot more handy to take along in the pocket. Had to crop since the animal was a lot smaller then the spider of yesterday. Strangely this one was almost too fast for me, every time I was set-up it was out of frame. (full...

Osawa f4.5 80-205 Macro + 11 mm extension tube, bought this cheap and in mint condition: This is the result, no more cropping on the larger bugs: This is the material (shot with my 50mm) ​

Bugs, 5 Sept, today I did some test shots, did not get anything to show but very educational: this is like a long bumble bee, still do not know what it is: Asian Hornets nests: the first is a starting nest, the second is in the first weeks

Insects, birds and spiders. 9 Sept

Waterdrop. Missed some days of posting. Today test on lens stacking, came out a bit abstract, with lacking light, but somehow it works for me: N.B.: I went to real macro now.

Basilica, picture for 4 Sep we are blessed in Europe with this history:

Leaves, did not find a good subject. Was lightpainting in time mode: Nikon D7000 50mm F/1.8G F/16 Shutter Speed: 12.4s ISO 1600

School, I saw this at lunch when buying something is a shopping mall. I always go there for a wine festival, but it is a school, I thought appropriate for September as a theme:

The end of the tunnel, I was looking for the dragonfly and came across this: The family of the spider yesterday (who had moved and could not be found), Yesterday I had an other web in the way for this one, I removed it today: ----------------------------------------------- I forgot update...

Spider (Araneus diadematus), one of my favorites around here: I walked in a web this morning, then looked at the beast in it and did a regret not to have the web with it. It seems difficult to get it full in focus for me, I'll keep working on this. Outside of the web it does not spread it legs...

Luxembourg, picture for 29 Aug This picture represents well what I wanted to do for the competition, combine some elements: 1) Business: the building left is a large asset management firm 2) Fun: the giant wheel 3) Tradition: the crosses (sadly a graveyard) 4) Nature: the trees However I...

Porsche Turbo, did not have a lot of time, but did some shopping and saw this. Nikon D7000 50mm F/1.8G F/7.1 1/10s ISO 250 I put it in black and white since the car was black and dirty, looks a bit cleaner this way. Also got the detail shot at lunch on the Audi = Rings in the...

Fries shed, being hungry and thinking what I would shoot today I came to this: It was very sharp, see the sign above. It actually did not work, so I introduced noise and it works better for me. This is very comparable to food trucks in the US, however some are just sheds like this one.

Grasshopper, went out in a rock climbers place and ended up taken the ground as best pictures. @Marilynne: Yes it was cropped, with my current gear I think it is needed. I'll remember to explore the option to let the bug fly away.

Butterflies: I went out to look for the dragonfly I had seen some weeks ago (this time when there was light), it flew by and that is all I saw of it. I had seen a nice bird, but waiting for it did not seem to give it any motivation to come out again, so I noticed the butterflies. Walking to them...
