Hi all.
Well I see a familiar face here (clix pix) from my favorite nikon forum, and so I figure I may as well make a little contribution or two.
I've got a few images to share over the next few days, i'll keep going through my library of photos and pick some more.
In the meantime, try this one. It's a bit more fun than some of the ones i'll be posting in the next few days which are mostly 'just cause they look nice' photos, not exciting in any way
The information:
Camera: Nikon D200 (my baby)
Date: April 29, 2006
Time: 2:10 PM
Location: father's front yard, Miami, FL, USA
Lens: Nikon 85mm f/2.8D Perspective Control Micro-Nikkor (with PK-13 extension tube I think)
Tech Stuff: ISO 200, 1/250 sec f/stop unknown- the 85PC is a manual diaphragm lens, and with non-CPU tubes it won't accurately report aperture to the camera. May have been f/5.6-11.0.
Hope you all like it...
Don't kill me

Wow! I like how you can see the hairs on her legs!
One thing though - do you think you've got some dirt on your sensor? There are 4 spots that look like it in the image, or maybe it's just stuff flying around in the garden. Amazing picture - must be a great lens. You've got me really wanting a macro lens now!

Put a warning on that photo! I hate spiders, and can usually manage to look at a photo of one, but not a shot so close up.
iGary said:Lots of detail in low light. Really nice - thanks for sharing.
Thank you. The light was really weird - inside a big old greenhouse basically - it seemed very blue so the camera had a tough time in some shots. I don't know what I'm doing yet with white balance, but it's a good learning experience. Oh, and the first outing for my Nikon 18-200VR lens (I know you're a Canon man so that won't excite you!
)Anyway, a new day here so time for some more botany I'm afraid - but this time loads more colour:

Ah, an Echeveria! I love my succulents - they have such wonderful architecture and texture. Nice colour in that shot.

Thanks - yes I'd forgotten the importance of the day. And I just noticed that there's one of those ubiquitous furniture hooks in the shot too - a bit of Dutch ingenuity!

Very nice - I assume these come up every year in your yard? Love the color.
Yeah i like the color toiGary said:Very nice - I assume these come up every year in your yard? Love the color.
We actually throw them out every fall and buy new ones in the spring but i suppose they would come up every year if i hade the patience to bring them in over the winter and take care of them but i dont
