Tools

I think I should note here that I've been playing w/ macro filters alot this summer. All of the shots that I put up in the last few days were taken with them. Untill this weekend I'd been obsessed with the extreme filters, and stacking them. This weekend I started playing with the 1x and 2x filters more. I'm blown away by the results. I can tell a difference between these filters, and a good lens, but with a price difference of hundreds of dollars, the filters were a great investment. They're also much lighter to carry, and easier to switch out than a good lens.

Purple Flowers

My mother wants purple flower shots for one of the bedrooms in her home... so, everytime we walked past a purple flower this week Mary pointed it out.

Vacation

Since when are vacations so much work. I think it was all worth it, but Now I need a vacation from my vacation.

just to annoy Mary

Ok, this isn't really just to annoy Mary. I wish I could have gotten the web to show up a little better. Mary tried very hard to get this shot, and I was able to pull it off. I think if I had set up a tripod, and gotten a longer exposure, I might have been able to make the web show up better. If there was the slightest breeze that wouldn't work though.

I wonder what it would look like croped? or edited at all for that matter. I'll see if I can't find time to mess with that tomorrow.

Gardening

I'm getting a little tired of all the flower pictures on here, but it's what I've been shooting. I need to go out for some more night shooting soon.

This is a shot I got this morning while I was gardening in over the rhine. I think I'm going to like this deal. I do a little gardening, and get fresh greens. rock out.

Return of the Camera Part 3

In Theory there is a working camera waiting for me down at the camera shop. I'll find out in about 20 min.
