Dorcadion pedestre (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).
Canon EOS 5DII + MP-E65/2.8 + Speedlite 270EX.
Single handheld shot, but at this angle I could prop my hands to the ground. Settings: ƒ/13, 1/100 sec., ISO 125.
Whenever I do too many panoramas from one outing, I generally wind up combining several of them into a poster so I don't swamp my stream with panos. Besides, it saves people the terrible pain of choosing one to comment on.
The top one is over 180º and the bottom one is about 90º.
I might also add that these spots were swarming with photographers, and I had to mercilessly photoshop them out of the compositions. Damned photographers; when they see a sunset they swarm like flies and all land on the best turd. But since I can smite them with Photoshop, it doesn't bother me too much. I enjoy smiting.
It sure didn't take long for the nice green bike lane to start looking pretty grimy Trump Hotel in background.
My first HDR using the upgraded Photomatix 3.2 - more complicated, still easy!
Just outside Lower Sabie, this pride of lions lay resting in the afternoon sun. Picture slightly cropped.
Kokomo Club, first image I shot, I was actually surprised how bad it was but I saw the movement of the camera as I tripped the shutter twice. Had the exposure been longer it would have actually been better but this is literally pulling the trigger twice immediately for 1/3 second. Not a horrible pinhole shot but obviously this capable of better effects.
Pinholes shot on instax wide with speed graphic and lomograflok.
Instax wide is approx ISO 800. At f/225 these were 1/3 to 1/4 second exposures neither of which exists on the speed graphic.
These should be handheld snapshots but the shutter release is too robust and pulling or flinching is inevitable off hand.
1950 Air Force issue Graflex Speed Graphic given up for dead but mostly rehabilitated. 0.4mm pinhole which Mr Pinhole states should be f/225 at 90mm. 90mm is about the optimum focal length for that aperture. 90mm is 3.54 inches and the speed graphic because of its focal plane shutter has a minimum flange focal distance of 2 3/8 inches. However, the lomograflok requires 19mm (3/4 inch) pushback due to its design. Therefore 71mm is 2 13/16 leaving us with a mere 7/16th inch of clearance, but it works fine.

Responsible Age of 21 yet! Poor Aubrey...);
Taken handheld since having a tripod would be an attention grabber; just being precautious. What else could I ask for Fujifilm, having a superior output and dynamic range for 16 mp? Adjusted a bit of sharpness and exposure in LR. Could not be more happier. My first shot with my XF10-24 mm. Why get something nearly 1 kg for my other camera body where I can get same output with this lens. Thank you for viewing. Regards.
IFC 2 is the iconic skyscraper on Hong Kong Island, and tilting your camera up lets you keep the tip in the shot as you fill the rest of the frame with clear blue sky.
Hong Kong's air quality has been in decline for a long time, a victim of the 24/7 factories across the border in Shenzhen, but sometimes you get a clear day like this.
It was bright (at f/4, this was correctly exposed at 1/2500s for ISO100) and I barely notice the small black dot. It's not a sensor or lens cleaning issue, but instead, a black hawk. I wonder what it thinks of the urban jungle below?
Walking through SANAA's recently completed building, Grace Farms, is a revelation. The desire of an architect's fascination with clarity and accommodation is evident. The building, if that’s what one would call it, is a slippery river of sinuous curves sliding down a hillside. It is more landscape than building. Interrupting this sliding shed structure are a series of volumes of curved glass, delicately floating underneath the warm wood roof serpentine. Each one is a program of specificity. Each one creates a space, in more ways than the structure above. This structure succeeds where others only trumpeted possibility. Here the collision of use and desire reside and are potent against the landscape. It’s an unexpected space, one to be championed.
