ultramacro

jennifer and i had a photo shoot today… she had the idea for the pennies suspended on the table, and then we decided to construct a makeshift extension tube out of a pringles can.

more macro

enjoyed a bit more macro today. this time a nice butterfly and lizard. the gallery is, as before, here.

these small images don’t really do it justice – especially the lizard.

bush library macro pics (150)

while waiting for will to get out of class today, i went out with the new sigma 150 macro to take some pictures. first general impressions – this is a fantastic lens. well built, fast focusing, sharp and with good color. good speed/length combination. i was able to shoot pics of the spider for a good 10 minutes without him ever really knowing that i was there. so far, i wish i’d had this lens years ago!

you can check out the rest of the pictures here.

star rotations

some fun star rotations from this weekend: hopefully i’ll have larger versions up at some point in a simpleviewer gallery along with other pictures from the weekend…
