    First, thanks for looking at this one. I am relatively new to insect

    macros, but this one was worth a post. I see that a lot of shooters limit

    their DOF with insects, but I thought that the slightly soft (not

    completely blurred) background leaves also brought a different dramatic

    element. Maybe the butterfly's show was enough? I appreciate your

    look and the critique.

    Young Rebel Maple

          2

    Macniac Island Michigan October 2006. After a violent early fall

    storm, this stressed young maple was exposed to wind and the new-

    fallen snow was knocked off of the leaves because the wind was

    unimpeded (the backdrop foliage was dense, so the snow remained

    shrouded on the flora). Thanks for your consideration.

    Early storm on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Hotel Staff did not

    anticipate the early season storm and left the chairs out. 50 MPH

    gale winds w/snow killed my camera. Was it worth it? I am not

    sure. Thanks for looking

    Exposure right on for the bubbles, slightly hot on the face, but overall very good. I happen to like the tight crop ... I think that the cropping of the top of the head does not hurt this image. Good one!

    The medium format camera with timer shutter realease on was extended out the driver-side window. Knee steadied the steering wheel. After 20 exposures like this, I survived to type this. - Justin

    Hi all. I am truly flattered by everone's comments and visit to my page. The high ratings have been nice too (with exception of the 3/3 that someone gave me without telling me why).

     

    Hi Frank -- to answer you specifically, believe it or not, I was driving this car when I recorded the image: a manoevre that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. About 80 m.p.h. and a medium format Pentax 645 / 35mm lens mounted with a timer shutter release. My knee steadied the steering wheel and cruise control acivated. I have eaten many Big Macs driving my car with a knee so I guess unexpected skills are learned without intention at times :) Thanks again.

    Hi Jalil:

     

    ... And a fine boy her is. I'll be sure not to get in his way! I really like the juxtaposition between the revolver and Mini Mouse sticker on Danial's handle bars.

  1. Alec ... this image brought me to your PN portfolio and I am glad to have seen it. This cover is certainly commensurate with the usual image in your body of work, which is exceptionally and consistently high. Count on a revisit from me. Congrats 7/6.
  2. Alas, in August 2006, one of the "turrets" of this "Castle Rock"

    formation gave way and tumbled into the aquas of Lake Superior,

    Michigan. Casle Rock's demise was the natural progression of the

    intense, freeze, thaw, water battering, wind and erosion so typical

    of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Munising, Michigan. This

    photo is posted as a tribute to a grand place.

  3. Sharon ... this is a very challenging subject to photograph. For me, a lot of the interest is unfortunately obscurred by brush in the front of the grille. The high contrast of the scene is seemingly beyon the range of your Exilm to record. Very interesting scene and potential: you probably worked to find it. I would like to take a shot at this by isolating some of the nostalia or tired weathering of this old Chevy combined with some of the splash of the autumn folliage ... perhaps a low angle perspective near the grille with a softened tree back drop. I do get the rendering of your sense of "tired" and "nostagia" and color which was clearly your aim when the scene struck you. Nice job.

    Peyto Lake

    This is a popular phto platform in Alberta Canada. Usually this is

    rendered in color ... what is the inpression in B/W? This lake is

    also known as "Wolf's Head Lake" for the shape of the shoreline.
