[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 138080, member: 12214"] 4-15-13: Today was an experiment. I usually do not use an ISO higher than 400, and try to use as low an ISO as possible (usually 125). Today, I used my old Tamron 80-210 lens and went traipsing through the woods. Considering that it was rather cloudy, I used an ISO from 400 to 800. When I got back, I definitely was disappointed. I do love the low noise of low ISO. Anyway, here are some of my results. I plan on going back into the woods with my favorite macro lens (the 105) and my 85 f/1.8 or 35 f/1.4 and external flash. I have been following the work of some very busy pileated woodpeckers. I'm still waiting to get a photo of one of them in action. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33083._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]33084._xfImport[/ATTACH] I have taken a lot of photos of moss. I find it absolutely fascinating. Here's my first moss photo of the season: [ATTACH=CONFIG]33085._xfImport[/ATTACH] Lichen and other decomposers are another favorite of mine, so I will inflict my decomposer passion on the group. Sorry about that. :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]33086._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]33087._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]33088._xfImport[/ATTACH] Finally, my neighbor's pond, or at least part of the outflow of his pond.
