#6 Macro

Not as cool as I envisioned (but yummy).

Breakfast anyone?

#4 Macro

No flower picture today. This is an interesting piece of jewelry, it is a locket, but with a clock in it instead of a picture. I love the detail in and was hoping to capture it. The watch face is only about 1". The face is upside down so that you can read it it by tilting it up towards you (I think that makes sense).

Thanks ILP Friends!

I just wanted to give a big Thank You to my ILP friends. You have all helped me learn so much in a short amount of time. Your cc and posts help me push myself to be a better Photographer. I never imagined I would be taking such amazing pictures. You guys are great!

#3 Macro

I'm loving Macro week, Thanks Chris!!!

I was very happy to get good focus as I couldn't use a tri-pod because I was following this little guy from flower to flower. Took about 15 shots, but it was worth it.

I hate that the ladybug is a little OOF, I'm still working on getting my subject in focus using the 4+ filter.

#1 Macro

I got my close up filters Yesterday and of course had to play with them right away. I'm still learning how to use them, but love the results I'm getting. This 1st image is using the 2X filter. It is cropped to about 90% of the original, saturation upped a bit and sharpened.

1/160, f5.6, ISO 200

I was curious about how good the focus was with the new filters and how much I could crop and still have crisp details. So I cropped it and was amazed!

I would deffinitely recommend these filters!

#7 Shadows

Unfortunately it is suppose to be cloudy all day with the possibility of rain. I really would have liked to see what this looked like in the bright sun, but I'll have to settle with what I got.

1/200, f4.0, ISO 400, 22.0mm

The sun came out from the clouds for just a few minutes, here's my shot.

#6 Shadows

Just a quick shot after work.

1/30, f16.0, ISO 200, 18.0mm

#5 Shadows

I liked how the ivy was growing into the hole in the side of this old barn. The shadows are subtle, so I hope they count.

#4 Shadows

I hate that Pepper is blurry, but with the slow shutter speed any movement showed. I tried to up the ISO to 1600, but the noise was horrible, so I settled for this.

0.5, f4.0, ISO 800, 30.0

#3 Shadows

I wanted to get a unique shadow using a candle and cut glass. I tried several different candle holders and glasses until I got something I liked. Well, here it is.

#2 Shadows

I finally found some kids that were more than willing to get their picture taken.

I love pictures of shadows of fences on the beach. Well I have a fence but no beach, so here's my take on it.

I was going to wait till tomorrow to take this shot, but since there's some questions about my other shot fitting the theme I decided to redeem myself. (I think someone posted a similar pict earlier this week, hope they don't mind this).

I'm going for something different today, hope it works for the theme.

I drove past these rocks on my way home from work and thought they looked very Zen like. The largest rock is about 2 feet tall.

I had to put this on here. I am working on B&W conversion and was very happy with this image. All cc welcome.

I wish she was a little more centered within the middle windowpane. I had to put peanut butter on the window to get her in this position. Then I had to pp to get the peanut butter off the window, not fun.

#7 Caturing Motion

I love Kel's pictures of kids jumping, so when my neighbors walked by in their bright colored uniforms I had to get them in action. The light is a little harsh, but it was the best I could do on short notice.

1/125, f11.0, ISO 400, 24.0mm

#6 Capturing Motion

Here's my take on water droplets. I thought the Purple & Pink background would look pretty cool, but I think it makes the shot to busy. Also, I have too much light on the left. I guess it's OK for my 1st attempt.

I actually took this with my 55mm and cropped. DH went to Wolf Camera to get me some close-up filters, but they were out. I plan to order them on-line tomorrow.

#5 Capturing Motion

Tried to get a picture of bubbles. Then Pepper wandered by and I tried to get a picture of her looking at the bubbles, but she wasn't too cooperative. I did get one of her looking at the bubbles after they landed, but it was hard to see the bubbles so I tinted them purple in the last picture.

#1 Capturing Motion

I thought I would start simple by using this car that moves by itself, by pulling it back and letting go. Boy was I wrong. This was a lot harder than I thought. I had to let go of the car at the right time and snap the shot at the right time all after figuring out the correct shutter speed and lens size. It took several shots (like about 50) to get something I liked. I decided this theme will test my patients.

Went hiking at Hanging Rock State Park today. Here's my best pict. Don't you wish you were there?
