    Smile!

    It is still warm here, 68º but rainy here today, and these beautiful critters have not yet bedded down for winter. This one was not overly large, maybe 2 feet or a little bit more. I shot this one yesterday in a drainage pond. I stood on a culvert and shot it with my 180mm f/2.8 AIS. Had I had...

    In time for Halloween

    I took a shot I did several months ago with the F4 and T-Max 100 and merged it with an image I took in the same cemetery at the same location (with the Hasselblad, sorry, I was out of 35mm film) of a model in a long, flowing white dress. A few tweeks in PS and voila! a beautiful spook!

    Maternity shoot

    I have shot Lynnsey before in the studio but she is about 3 weeks from delivering so we had to hurry and get a maternity shoot done. Her fiancé took some coaching to get to smile but he eventually showed his pearly whites. Pregnancy suits her well! D700 and 105mm f1.8 AIS Nikkor @ f/4

    Wasp and Nest

    I have been watching this wasp and two others build this nest outside our front door for about a week now. I wanted to wait until the nest was large enough to photograph. There was only one wasp here today, no idea where the other two were. He was a little sluggish so I had to coax him a bit to...

    Decay

    There is an old abandoned house on the way to work and I have been eyeing it for a while. These two windows are on the front porch facing the street. They entire house is in a pretty advanced state of decay, and these windows display it well. The sky was overcast and there was actually a slight...

    Playing around with saturation and exposure - NSFW

    I took a lingerie image and dropped the saturation a good bit and raised the brightness an equal amount. Amber has a naturally light complexion and naturally very blonde hair What do you think?

    A 41 MP cell phone camera?????

    The very idea of it makes me laugh my butt off. AT&T is advertising one now. I don't care how MP is has, it is STILL a cell phone. What are your thoughts?

    Subscriptions

    How on earth do I unsubscribe from all threads? I get at least a hundred emails a day informing me someone else has posted to a thread I posted a reply to. I have tried to delete all the subscriptions but when I try it tells me that that folder does not exist. I simply do not have time to even...

    What did you think of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial?

    Personally I think the correct verdict was rendered and I applaud the jurors for making the right decision knowing good and well the reaction it would get from people who were on the side of the Martin family. I am normally very "prosecution friendly" when it comes to things like this but in...

    How come stuffl like this never happens when I DO have a camera handy?

    Maybe I need to carry one with me all the time. This is Mother Nature at her most powerful. We get a fair amount of waterspouts down here in the late spring and summer and of course with hurricanes, but I have never been this close to one, and of course never with a camera HANDY!!! :mad: This...

    Nathan and Haley

    Just to prove I actually do shoot more than just photos of gorgeous models in swimsuits, here is an engagement photo I shot of a couple about a year ago. This was shot at the beach with the D700 and my 85mm f/1.8 AIS with a little bit of lighting help from a fill flash. It was later in the day...

    partitionling a hard drive

    I just got a 2 TB external drive and want to use it to back up the three computers we have here at home. Would it be best to partition the hard drive into 3 partitions and use each as a separate back up for each of the computers. I know cameras but admittedly don't really know crap about computers.

    Christina on the beach

    Since the "Sunshine" State is anything but this weekend :mad: , I thought I would dredge up a shot from last summer when it was sunny. I used my 300mm f/2.8 AIS at f/4. My wife walked alongside her holding a fill flash that was tripped wirelessly to fill in the shadows.

    Ghost Crab

    Today is my only day off this week, at least untl the weekend (which I only have every other one off) so I went to the beach this morning, camera in hand. I spotted this ghost crab, maybe 4" from leg tip to leg tip, entering its burrow. Ghost crabs are primarily terrestrial, though they do...

    I just pulled the trigger on this one.............

    18mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor. It is in near mint condition, just minus a tiny little amount paint on the rim of the hood, and only $500 plus $30 shipping. I debated for a good while between this one and the 15mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor and honestly I think I will get more use out of this one, plus it is less...
