John (300m) > July 6: Mr Spidey Yes I know, ooohhh youck a bug :). I was out looking for a pod, had my 18-200 on and was prowling the neighborhood. I found nothing spectacular, just a few shot. Most of the flowers are dead now due to the excessive heat and the lack of water we have had. I had found a whole 4 shots which were not much when I spotted this guy on the weeping cherry in my front yard. I went in the house and got the 105 macro and the R1 flash rig. I set the flash units on the ring at 0 EV and -1.3 EV and went out. He was still there so I fired away. I took about 30 shots to get a few good ones. He was a fast moving little guy and I chased him around the tree while he was spinning his web. In the end he stopped and was doing some furious work with the front legs and then disappeared. When I looked he was on the ISO knob of the camera checking me out. He is only the size of the thumbnail on my little finger so he is small. I did crop the shot for less leave and better view. I added +5 black and +16 clarity in Lightroom.
John (300m) > Oct 23: Morning on the Bay I captured this shot on the way into work. The picture caught my eye and I turned around and drove back to this location to capture the shot. I was not dressed for the weather but I stood there anyway and took shots for 20 min. This is a 30 sec exposure shot on the bay with my remote trigger. Temps had dropped from the 60's to 48 with the wind blowing off the water at 15-20. I could hear the wind howling through the masts. A couple of masts on the left side you can see the blur hence movement in these masts. The line in background is the interstate that is leading to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. Tunnel over to Norfolk. Have a great day
John (300m) > Jan 10: Pelican in flight I caught this pelican in flight over the moat today at lunch. They are rear in this area and i was very surprised to see them flying around and looking for food. I really liked this one when I did the crop as I could tell he was looking right at me on the fly by. I really liked the look in the eye on this one. Thanks for all the well wishes! The pain is reduced, still sore but way more manageable.
John (300m) > Oct 7: Up close and personal I went out for my walk at lunch yesterday with the intension of getting a better shot of the spider from yesterday. I had my SB800 on the bracket so to light the subject better than the onboard flash. I did and I got some flowers and I saw this honey bee. I think I chased him around for quite a while but it was worth the effort. I got really close before he flew off on the last few shots. The sun gave me front lighting and I used the flash for side fill light. It was a fantastic day at lunch with over 100 pictures taken. I have never done that in 30 min before. Have a great day!
John (300m) > May 2: Leaf: It was windy here last evening when I was doing the POD and we found this bunch of leaves on the back deck when we out to get something. THought I could make something of this so I brought it in to try. Very late last night I had an idea when taking shots and this the result. This is not a crop, but a full shot with my macro. I lit the leave with one SB200 flash (small) from the rear at a 45 degree angle to the leave to get this effect. The veining on the rear popped with this lighting. EXIF: D200 on a tripod ISO 125 1/160 sec, f/9.0 +1/3 EV single R1 SB200 flash

John (300m) > August 13: Warning Sunrise I saw the beginnings of this sunrise on my way into work so I had to stop and catch what I could as the sunrise really looked promising. I drove out to the seawall and got my camera and took a few shots while I waited for the sun to come up. This was one of the shot I took while I was waiting. Good thing as the sun never came up at all here yesterday. The darker area you see in the center is the clouds moving in an the fog. The sky went from this red to orange to lt orange fade to white in like 3 min. All before sunrise. I was all set for the sunrise too. Another day as I was really happy with this shot and the colors. This is straight from the camera with .35 added to the exposure. I originally shot the scene -1/3 under so this is how I saw the sky. I did not bracket as this was the peak of when the colors started fading my next shot was orange and the last a faded orange. Have a great day
John (300m) > Jan 13: Time to Fly! I have been rebuilding my Smug Mug galleries today when I got home. After a year of not really filing things It has come to a head :) I found this shot when building my portfolio and I wanted to share. Enjoy
John (300m) > August 28: Roanoke Island Lighthouse I shot this in the rain as I was determined to get the shot. I did this as a 5 shot HDR as the weather was bad. As you can see it was raining and I was standing holding my coat over the camera to keep it dry while I took the shot. Straight from the basic settings in Photomatix no LR adjustments.
