John (300m) > July 6: Mr Spidey Yes I know, ooohhh youck a bug :). I was out looking for a pod, had my 18-200 on and was prowling the neighborhood. I found nothing spectacular, just a few shot. Most of the flowers are dead now due to the excessive heat and the lack of water we have had. I had found a whole 4 shots which were not much when I spotted this guy on the weeping cherry in my front yard. I went in the house and got the 105 macro and the R1 flash rig. I set the flash units on the ring at 0 EV and -1.3 EV and went out. He was still there so I fired away. I took about 30 shots to get a few good ones. He was a fast moving little guy and I chased him around the tree while he was spinning his web. In the end he stopped and was doing some furious work with the front legs and then disappeared. When I looked he was on the ISO knob of the camera checking me out. He is only the size of the thumbnail on my little finger so he is small. I did crop the shot for less leave and better view. I added +5 black and +16 clarity in Lightroom.
John (300m) > Oct 23: Morning on the Bay I captured this shot on the way into work. The picture caught my eye and I turned around and drove back to this location to capture the shot. I was not dressed for the weather but I stood there anyway and took shots for 20 min. This is a 30 sec exposure shot on the bay with my remote trigger. Temps had dropped from the 60's to 48 with the wind blowing off the water at 15-20. I could hear the wind howling through the masts. A couple of masts on the left side you can see the blur hence movement in these masts. The line in background is the interstate that is leading to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Tunnel over to Norfolk. Have a great day
John (300m) > May 2: Leaf: It was windy here last evening when I was doing the POD and we found this bunch of leaves on the back deck when we out to get something. THought I could make something of this so I brought it in to try. Very late last night I had an idea when taking shots and this the result. This is not a crop, but a full shot with my macro. I lit the leave with one SB200 flash (small) from the rear at a 45 degree angle to the leave to get this effect. The veining on the rear popped with this lighting. EXIF: D200 on a tripod ISO 125 1/160 sec, f/9.0 +1/3 EV single R1 SB200 flash
John (300m) > Oct 7: Up close and personal I went out for my walk at lunch yesterday with the intension of getting a better shot of the spider from yesterday. I had my SB800 on the bracket so to light the subject better than the onboard flash. I did and I got some flowers and I saw this honey bee. I think I chased him around for quite a while but it was worth the effort. I got really close before he flew off on the last few shots. The sun gave me front lighting and I used the flash for side fill light. It was a fantastic day at lunch with over 100 pictures taken. I have never done that in 30 min before. Have a great day!
John (300m) > Jan 10: Pelican in flight I caught this pelican in flight over the moat today at lunch. They are rear in this area and i was very surprised to see them flying around and looking for food. I really liked this one when I did the crop as I could tell he was looking right at me on the fly by. I really liked the look in the eye on this one. Thanks for all the well wishes! The pain is reduced, still sore but way more manageable.
John (300m) > Alien Ware This is called Cross Polarization. I learned this process from my friend Kathleen Bjoran. This is a set of plastic utensils that I shot against a light source with the polarization process. It is a fun process once you get hooked and get running with the source. I will have another shot tomorrow for you to see then I am on the road for the remainder of the week returning late Friday. Have a great day folks
John (300m) > Bridge Reflections I captured this while my wife & I were out for a walk. I loved the reflections on the water and the serenity of feeling this shot gave me. I really liked the feel of this shot. We were on one of the overlooks on the lake taking this shot. I am on the road for the next 2 day so I will be late getting comments till I return. I hope to catch some when I get to the office today, but tomorrow we leave at 4AM so I expect it will be late Friday when I catchup with folks. Have a great day, hope you are not getting soaked like we are. Not looking forward to my 3 hr road trip
John (300m) > suspension This is a shot that was triggered by something I saw Maryann(fotomom) do. Reference her marbles & grape juice. This is some mosaic glass beads in a glass fruit cup. This is what happens when the mad scientist mixes soap and club soda. I wanted a "few" big bubbles and this was the result. Rather cool. The colors are all from the beads reflecting the light from an LED flashlight. I did color correct and this was the result, as I saw in the viewfinder. As my wife mentioned look sideways and you will see a smiley face :) This is #2 in the series I did with the beads. Thanks much for all the well wishes!!! I think I spent most of yesterday asleep so I have some energy back. I have 4 meetings so I am off to work today. Still a bit rough but I have a doc's appointment at 2(already scheduled) so I will make the best of that visit. Have a great day!
