Fella playing the guitar outside Sparky's ice cream shop. Anybody that can spend $4 on a small cup of ice cream aughta be able to drop some in his bucket.
Attention to detail
The Heritage Festival in Columbia Missouri; What would you do for a corndog?
There was folk music and a polka band that were pretty good.
Sherry's new bonnet. She got a matching apron too.
On the way to work it's great to catch a photogenic sunrise with the morning mist and all that, but hard to find a good subject. Let's face it, the sunrise by itself is pretty, but a little uninteresting IMO. When you happen on to one of these, you've got maybe 5-6 minutes when the light's just right. I was blasting along at 70 mph on US 63 looking for anything that would be good to shoot, and this tree was all I could find. The 24" X 30" print of this came out great!
On the macro table this little guy was tough because he just wouldn't hold still. At f/32 and a DOF of maybe 1/16",focus is difficult. I was putting him in the freezer for 3-4 minutes to slow him down, and then taking him out to shoot at the table. Each time I'd get maybe 30 seconds before he was off and running again. I used two big Sunpak 611s in small softboxes (full and 1/4 power) to get enough light. D700 at ISO-200 with a Sigma EX 105mm macro lens. The beetle was about 1/2" long and a lovely purple color.
