If not for that bit of lens flare in the lower right, this could quite easily be a painting, or even a pastel sketch… Granted, this isn’t straight out of the camera, but it’s not very heavily processed either: Aperture’s built-in RAW conversion Exposure +.44 Black Point +2.43 Brightness +.06 Contrast +.12 Definition +.57 Saturation +.04 Vibrancy +.28 and some …

365.82 The Punisher
Tried something again today, or started to try something new, but decided to try again before I tried, if that makes any sense… probably not, huh. A couple of weeks ago, I tried to mount the 30mm Sigma and 10-24mm Nikkor in reverse on the 75-150, but had no luck with either. Well, in a …
Super Macro Brothers: the Weigh-In
I’ve been reading up on Macro photography quite a bit lately. Well, that’s not quite true… I’ve been thinking of buying a proper macro lens for several days—the Tokina 100mm f/2.8, specifically—and reading review after review and spec sheet after spec sheet, and in the process I decided to see how the macro rig (the …

365.71 Nikon Deep Space Telescopy
I shot this indoors, with multiple lights on, at 4:02pm, 8 March 2012, in Dallas TX. It is completely overcast in Dallas today. I do not own a telescope. What I do own is an old, slightly scratched (and rather dusty, apparently) magnifying glass, a Nikon 75-150mm E Series, a Nikon 36-72mm E Series, a …
365.70 Forced Engagement
I had some FUN this afternoon! Whee! I won’t go into it right now, as I’m a bit pressed for time, but I will do a full write up with lots more pictures later soon. If not later tonight, then probably sometime over the weekend. But here’s a hint: D7000, Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, …
