Geese:

Groundhog?

Flower Time Lapse

My first time lapse of flowers opening, could have been better but not a bad first try. It is fun to watch the shadows move as time goes on but next time I might try indoors for more consistent lighting and no wind to move the flowers around.

Coins

I've been having some trouble thinking of stuff to photograph with my macro reverse ring other than a circuit board or coins. Once it warms up I'll want to try bugs and other stuff outdoors. So here are a bunch of close ups on various coins. Some are slightly out of focus in areas due to the fact I couldn't get my camera parallel to the coins and it would look better if I cleaned off the coins.

Screen Shot

I took a "screen shot" of my computer's screen using my 75-300mm and 18-55mm lenses connected with the macro revers ring. This was around 16x life size (if I understand the math correctly).

Frost

Some frost this morning on my car windshield. I used my 75-300mm and 18-55mm along with a 58-58mm macro reverse ring for macros greater than 1:1 (life size). Potentially I could get up to almost 17:1 (17 times life size). These were hand held with a high ISO (I didn't feel like freezing my hands off trying to position a tripod and getting the focus perfect). They didn't turn out that bad being hand held but they could be better, maybe next time.

Hanford Reach

Just a quick visit to the Hanford Reach area. I'll have to come back for some sunrise or sunset photos soon.

A Walk In The Fog

I went for a walk with my brother and when we got to the river we saw fog coming off the river. I should have learned by now to take my camera with me everywhere but I haven't, so I hurried home for my camera and got a few nice shots.
