  1. Thanks Sandy. I can't add photos because when I go to add a new photo the dropdown list of available galleries does not list the Norway gallery. Similarly, when I go to reorder the galleries, the Norway gallery is not on the list. BTW, all these functions work with my other galleries.

  2. Sorry to see you go Laura - thanks to you I have enjoyed learning about ubiquitous fungi and even seen beauty in slime molds!

    I've discovered and photographed 70 different species in my 2.5 acre patch of woodland, here is one from last year and like most

    remains unidentified. 8 stacked exposures of 2.5s at f/32 ISO 400.

  3. Monkeys don’t naturally occur in the US so it comes as a surprise to find these rhesus macaques living along the Silver River in central Florida. No one seems to be certain where they came from; some say they were escapees from a Tarzan movie filmed in 1933 and others that they were deliberately introduced by the manager of the Jungle Boat Ride at Silver Springs. They have been there for almost 80 years and seem to be doing well.BC4A1181s.thumb.jpg.1c47dac57d6a98b42fc45aa39f72a552.jpg

  4. <p>My first foray into M43 with legacy lens; E-M5 + Macro-Yvar 150mm f/3.3, a c-mount Kern Paillard cine lens from 1970. Manual focus needs care, strong vignetting but adjustment in post and small crop takes care of it. Nice bokeh and so light compared with FF equivalent EOS 5D4 + 300mm f/2.8!</p><div>00eLLf-567627584.thumb.jpg.6918d9001f5172caf72a1a0c1c8a10e0.jpg</div>
  5. <p>Makes the $9k price tag seem almost reasonable given the investment in equipment, labor intensity, and energy (I wonder what the carbon footprint is?). Then there's the fluorite optics, which utilizes a completely different manufacturing process from glass, and the electronics. It's quite remarkable how many technology disciplines are involved in the manufacturing of just a lens.</p>
  6. <p>My IR converted 40D works just fine; I had it converted at Kolari Vision and I sent along my EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS which they calibrated at no extra charge. As for artifacts caused by reflections, check out the Kolari Vision web site which lists how various lenses perform with IR converted cameras; some do much better than others.</p>
  7. <p>A cluster of tiny mushrooms (<em>Coprinellus disseminatus</em> I think - some older ones had become quite inky). Six stacked images 5D4 + EF 100m f/2.8L IS + 12 mm extension tube + EF1.4xIII.<br>

    Note, the 1.4x telextender does not fit the lens without the extension tube and does not show up in the EXIF data.</p><div>00eAvd-565799184.jpg.93c9abcd3fe0806d6c31f3bcd1ada73b.jpg</div>
