I love all cameras, even canon's, they're amazing too and I was borderline on sticking with canon... but nikon is where it's at (for me at least)! (;
1/125 sec; f/2; ISO 400
Jupiter 9 85mm f2 AUTOMAT Kiev 10-15 Mount adapted for Canon EF Mount
Manual; Evaluative metering
I could stare at this for hours.
The amount of detail was a result of the use of a slow flash and a nice macro lens.
Mendoza has a "Vines of Mendoza" tasting room where for a fee you can sample wines from various producers. They offer a $75 or $150 US per person tasting flight of 5 wines. We opted for the cheaper version. Tiny tastings in tiny glasses and not the quality we expected for the price. Since it was happy hour 50% off from 7 to 9 pm we sat on the street patio and sampled a still expensive wine but at least a decent pour in a nicer glass. Once was enough. The wine was Gimenez Rui Malbec and the next night in a restaurant we had the whole bottle for less money than the 2 glasses here. Geeez!
half frame camera with a 32mm f1.7 manually focusing lens. Focusing is from infinity to 2.5 feet. A selenium meter around the lens automatically sets the correct aperture and shutter speed in program fashion -- 1/30 at f1.7 to 1/800 at f 16.
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 24.6cm X 19.6cm, from a 8x10 Fomapan 100 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD triple extension field view camera fitted with a 610mm f9 Apo-Nikkor lens.
Signed, titled, and stamped verso.
The 610mm f9 Apo-Nikkor lens is not fitted with a shutter so the 2 second exposure was executed by removing and replacing the lenscap. Lens aperture was f128 and the small amount of image diffraction is negligible for an 8x10 contact photograph.

Last night I created a semi-ghetto macro softbox to use off camera speedlight. However, due to the seam created by the two papers which create my makeshift infinity sweep, I had to make an awkwardly tight composition of my 35mm f/1.8G lens. To be honest, I think the lighting would be ten times better if I had another light source coming from the left, but considering what I had to work with, I'm satisfied with how it turned out. Not bad for my second try at strobist work.
With some sort of production or repair sticker.
Quite a chunky sturdy cap.
Picked up this single cap at the thiftstore. The camera wasn't to be found,
So, since I was asked, here's what I typically carry when I'm going out… It's actually fairly low-key…
1 - Sigma DP2 (hooray!)
2 - Lensmate filter adaptor for DP2. Only leaves the camera if I need to use the flash (throws a shadow…)
3 - Hoya +10 diopter close-up filter. My primary macro attachment, it is a wonderful piece of optics.
4 - 52mm lenscap attached to the camera strap. I don't really know why I keep it attached - I've never lost a lenscap before in my life, and the thing gets in the way sometimes. Shrug.
5 - Moleskine Cahiers or similar pocket-sized notebook. For field notes, if I remember.
6 - TEC Accessories PicoPen, recent addition, always on my keychain now, and great for making said field notes. I briefly discuss this pen here.
7 - Romisen RC-C6-II, adjustable focus flashlight which produces a nice flood and is small enough to hold in my camera-steadying hand. Good for illuminating plants in the woods…
8 - Marumi +4, +2, +1 macro filters. Never heard of this brand before, and they're not great quality. They're good to have on hand because if I need to swap them out quickly I can toss them on the ground without worrying about damage. I'd still like to get a nice (read- Hoya) +1, +2, +4 set one of these days so that I can dial in my macro settings without sacrificing so much quality… But for now these come in fairly handy.
Also in the future, my kit will include a second (maybe third) battery for the DP2, and a Manfrotto Modopocket.
Cheers!
Well we lost a lens cap during a trip to the park a little over a month ago.
after sitting down and looking at the photos, i think i found it.
go figure!
Um...I'm starting to do x-processing on my own instead of PS actions, and I think it could had been a little stronger. and It would have been nice it there wasn't so much grain. Grain annoys me to no end - unless it makes the photo better-
I ordered my flash and lens today!! It should be here Thursday. I can't wait. I'm uber excited.
Oh and I was tagged by Natalie to do a 10 things. So I will probably do that next time I upload. :D

My cousin and I had an initial mix up upon me getting to Chatham. It was rainy, dark and very blah. I had explained I was taking the bus because VIA Rail website said that the last train to Chatham was at 4:30pm which I couldn't make on a Friday. Turns out that the 7:10pm train that leaves Toronto does stop here but they don't advertise it. AND it gets in at the same time as the bus does at 10:25pm.
The bus depot had moved since I was here 7.5 years ago so I was pretty disoriented and a little freaked out when I got to Chatham and there was no Mary Margaret. The bus depot office was closed and it was on the outer edge of Chatham ... and it was raining. Heck, just like a photo walk! ;p
Luckily, I got in touch with my cousin but I have to laugh now when she asked me where I was that I blurted out "I have no idea!!" since it was so dark that I couldn't see any signs on the way into town.
I went to the Tim Horton's out of desperation to wait for MM's arrival and decided to take this shot while I waited. :p
This week we were in Meghamalai which means Cloudy Mountain in Tamil.
Hills, forest, tea estates and a lot of elusive wildlife. Everyone you meet has seen elephants, bison, leopards, deer, hornbills and what not. The grand total of what we saw didn't reach double digits.
The place in the photo is called Vattapparai (circular rock) a favourite haunt of elephants and bison. There are water streams between the hills which attract them at dawn and dusk. Whether it is our luck or the bright blue jacket Nila wore, all we could see was a young bison which bounded into the forest before I could take a proper shot. Arun could not even open his lenscap.
However the landscape was beautiful. All green and misty with a crisp and cool air. We trekked quite a bit and got well reminded of the fact that I am the least fit in the family.
The tiny figures you see in the photo are Arun and Nila who decided to walk further when I needed a break and Uma gave me company.
Really happy how this turned out, although I did consider whether I've overdone it on the colour temperature. I do want to work on accurate colour technique but I think this was more appropriate for a vintage, dreamy feel.
Strobist: tripod, handheld LED lamp to left with handheld light diffuser panel.
glow in the dark black & white Cheech Wizard joins the affray with this lens cap blind pan double exposure type of thing.
fireworks for china's 60th anniversary. sat outside in the heat and got some pretty decent shots.... almost lost my lenscap and it turns out it was in my friends pocket -_-"
still on my long weekend :) no school tomorrow ha
Lens cap problem solved in 5 to 10 minutes with cardboard, sticky tape and a stapler. Protects against dust on the front element, so the lens shade can stay on permanently as long as the camera is not in the bag.
This is made for the lens shade of the walimex 85mm/F1.4, but I made another one for my 50mm lens.
The cardboard circle is cut to exactly fit in the opening. Then the tape is wrapped around, providing some durability and the tape also adds some tension by making the cap slightly larger then the opening.
This thing never falls out by itself.

School. Musical Rehearsal. Starbucks. Hyperness.
fact number 22: The only thing I will drink at Starbucks is Hot Chocolate or Shaken Iced Tea.
I had to let him play with the lens cap for a while before he settled down and allowed me to take this one where he's looking very contemplative... :)
This photo on my blog My world through my senses... - "What do you mean "Canon" "?
Tive que o deixar brincar com a tampa da objectiva durante um bocado até ele se acalmar e me deixar tirar esta em que ele está um ar muito contemplativo... :)
Photo by Gregory Peterson. Taken with an Exakta 24mm F2.8 MC Macro lens, in a manual focus Pentax KA mount.
The lens cap for the lens I was using to take this was a last resort for a subject. It's unusual that I will think of minor elements of a shot before I decide on a subject. It's usually the other way round.
Just under 5 minute exposure, various colored light sources were used at different heights while the roundabout was spinning to make the multi-colored streaks in the background.
First day back at work after a long holiday isn't something to look forward to...sigh. Monday blues ahoy...lucky I make it a point to bring my camera to work. :)
The desk I'm stuck at.

I really like the way this all metal body feels. Including the lens cap. Can you tell I like this camera yet? Playing with textures. The "i" somehow disappeared. More fun in black.

In observance of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2013, which was this past Sunday 4/28/13, here are some pinhole pictures taken with my Nikon D7000 digital camera on that day. The pinhole "lens" is a drilled out lens cap. I also took some pictures with a Nikon N80 film camera, but I am waiting to use up the roll of film before I can develop it.
