stemked Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 <p>Since my car is out all week getting the dents out of it from our golf-ball sized hail I haven't been out much. Further as I haven't figured out how to put a 600mm lens + camera on my bike it will be a while before I'm out chasing birds.<br>Will hopefully upload something later, just wanted to get things rolling.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean_b. Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 <p>Can't imagine golf-ball sized hail. Or said camera/lens combo on a bike.<br> My contributions taken with the usual: K-5 and DA 21 (what I carry if I'm hiking and not specifically on a photo mission).</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshombert Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 <p>Doug, please don't rush things - it's June, not September. My contribution for the week is two shots from the Cranberry Wilderness area, south of where I live in WV. Both taken with the K-5 and recently acquired Tamron 17-50/2.8.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 <p>As I noted, not much from me today.<br> I wish I had a reflector with me, but I was on the bike and had a minimal amount of equipment with me. After looking at the image I wish I had worked on cleaning up my background.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17419697-lg.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="1054" /></p> <p>Aphids. Pentax K7, 100mm DA f2.8 macro at 800 ISO f14 </p> <p>This leaf appealed to me. It looked rather like a landscape of blood red rivers. I need to work on it some to get more of my vision in the image.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17419698-lg.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="465" /><br> Leaf Pentax K7, 100mm macro ISO 800 fstop not noted.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB.Net Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 <p>I found some petroglyphs I have known about for years but never located. I'd like to revisit these for some more interesting shots some time, maybe using stars as a backdrop...<br> K-5 & DA40<br> <a title="IMGP3445 by MattB.net, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5465/8990435420_1fedb76296_z.jpg" alt="IMGP3445" width="640" height="424" /></a><br> .<br> Last night the family and I went for a little camp out pretty close to home. <br> K-5 & da15 & B+W ND 3.0<br> <a title="IMGP3518-Edit by MattB.net, on Flickr" href=" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3828/9001285959_d7e5f6aace_z.jpg" alt="IMGP3518-Edit" width="424" height="640" /></a><br> .<br> Since the moon wasn't out it was a nice dark night for shooting stars.

bobbuck19 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 <p>Dave S. See you made it down to my backyard, another week or two and the glades orchids should be blooming.<br> Matt B. Love the milkyway shot.<br> Haven't shot a lot, still going easy on my arm, gonna follow Doctors orders to the letter of lifting nothing heavier than a coffe cup for 6 weeks makes for not much fun, not to mention the piling up of chores and projects around the house, going on 2 1/2 months of not working and no fun!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbuck19 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 <p>Confession, yes I put the red leaf there. Not a great shot but I really like these little sundews.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 <p>A few late week comments.</p> <p>Bob-I always love a silky stream with flat light. Works for me.</p> <p>Matt-That second image, was that with a lensbaby? I really love that third image, the Milky Way, really nailed it.</p> <p>Haig-You are really spot-on with those butterflies.</p> <p>Robert-Boy, if I could get away I'd love to chase your 'Glade Orchids'. One of my favorite subjects. I really like the Towering Mushroom, and I don't think you broke any laws by laying down a leaf. I was wondering on the last image if you had tried shaving a little off the left side-seems like there is just a touch too much dark out there. A beautiful capture either way.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB.Net Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 <p>Thanks Robert and Douglas! <br> Douglas, the second shot I used a 10 stop ND filter for a 20 second exposure which blurred the clouds (they were really cruising). </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks, Robert and Doug. Catching those butterflies is a bit easier when there are hundreds of them flitting around :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB.Net Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 <p>Jean - I like that first one. Nice lines and great texture in the grass.<br />Bob - nice water motion shots and great to see you getting back out!<br />Haig - really nice butterflies. I especially like the second one.<br />Robert - the sundews are really cool. It would be great to get one back lit. Your blue stars are my favorite of yours this week.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
