A Very Small Bug, A Very Good Dung.
A Very Small Bug, A Very Good Dung.
July 3, 2007.
Nikon D40
Micro Nikkor 105mm D
natural light, tripod, timer
f 10 @ 1/60 s
iso 400
cropped ~2/3rds off original
I'm pretty sure this tiny bug just laid down a fair-sized "loaf".
I forgot the diffuser at home on my short photo safari yesterday, so I had to go with the light Mother Nature provided.

f11 (manual lense, Exif doesn't tell me. it was 11 or 16, I believe.)
June 27, 2007, during Orientation. Second floor of UCF Student union, around sunset.
I cloned out some sensor dust.
Aha! I knew I recognized the fountain.
Visiting, or do you live in the area?
We live down in Jacksonville but make it up to Savannah 2 or 3 time a year -- love the city -- and love the work that's going on at SCAD. Take full advantage of your opportunities there!
I like this shot a lot! Vignetting works nice here.
Here's one from a recent trip to the local botanical gardens, Boylston, MA:

Ah yeah, I know a few people from Jacksonville that attend SCAD. I love the school, faculty and facilities are top notch! (and better be, for the tuition I pay!
)I feel really cliche, posting pictures of fireworks....but....
First of all, I put my life in danger to get these! I sat for over an hour, less than 6 feet from a local lake, Lake Alice, on UF campus. It is well known becuase atleast once a year, an alligator eats a dog there. Moreover, the first time I set up to shoot, a 5 foot gator came out of the lake and walked right up to me! I've never moved my tripod faster!!! Fortunately, a 5 foot gator is actually pretty much a juvenile and we scared it off. But then I sat, in the dark, for 45 minutes, focused on pictures and praying no alligators showed up....
Secondly, I am darn proud of some of my pictures! I tried to pick the best, but there are two or three I love, and for my first time ever shooting fireworks, learning on-the-fly, I think I did a decent job.
As you can see, cloudy night, and smoke was drifting. The cloudiness you see on the right is a mixture of the two.
Pentax *ist Ds
135mm f2.8
not sure on aperture, Exif doesn't tell on MF lenses. I was changing it without looking, but I suspect it was 8 or 11, possibly 5.6
3.3 second exposure
camera mounted on cheap tripod, with home made remote shutter release.
Gainesville, Fl annual July 3rd fireworks show, July 3rd, 2007.
About midway through the 15 minute show.
Yes, their fireworks are a day early. Used to be some other city event on the 4th, so the fireworks were done on the 3rd. Now the city sponsors the fireworks instead of the other event, but it's been on the third forever, so to keep with tradition, it is still on the third. Also, it keeps me free to see other town's shows on the 4th.

I'm really not fond of bugs and don't usually like buggy photos, but this one really appeals to me. The composition, the DoF, the complimentary colors... And plus, the lil' guy is... sorta cute.
heh - I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that!And plus, the lil' guy is... sorta cute.

Thanks!
Personally, I am fascinated by the beautiful variety of design and color of the insect kingdom.
