Geminid Meteor Shower 2012 was super active - there were streaks everywhere, several a minute. I just wish there was some dark sky in Indiana. I went down to the Hoosier National Forrest for the best sky watching we have to offer. It was cold, real cold… :-) I caught 5 streaks in around 3 hours of shooting. This is a combined composite image of all the falling stars.
McCormick's Creek State Park in southern Indiana after the blizzard of 2012. (It wasn’t really a blizzard), but it left behind some beautiful snow.
A few shots from our recent Michigan City vacation
We were treated to a powerful storm that thrashed Chicago and kicked up huge waves for the next two days. This was a complicated shot, composed of about 20 individual images of different lightning strikes. The camera ran most of the night.
I haven’t had time to ID this amazing caterpillar. When I carefully opened the taco shaped leaf, I expected to see a spider. I first glance I thought I had found a small tree frog. :-) NEAT!!!!

I took some of my old shots and pumped them through Fractalius. The results are straight out of another dimension. :-) If you look through my photo stream, I bet you can find the “Before” shots.
Another shot from Free Photo Shoot #1 a few weeks ago. We hit up Goodwill and picked this old typewriter up for $6.99. It's still sitting on my table which reminds me I need to go and re-donate it. I hooked Nick up with some stale office atire and we got shooting. I set up a 13ft seemless in my garage and we built this little mini set. SUPER FUN! Had some beers and shot away.

Summit Lake State Park, Indiana
The Prairie trail (Trail # 1) offers just about every environment a bug hunter could want.

This another shot from the Free Photo Shoot #1 with Nick Thompson. We just went to Goodwill and picked up some randoms and bounced around ideas. We decided to take Nick hostage.

I hiked the Yellowwood Lake loop in the Yellowwood State Forrest. Southern Indiana is quite hilly, and it was very hot. This 5 mile trail was a serious challenge for my “out of shape” ass. I really need to lay off the cheeseburgers. :-) I managed to get a few shots along the way.
First time back after a horrible muscle enzyme problem that had me down for about 2 weeks. (Never quit your cholesterol medicine cold turkey!)

Totally different editing technique I wanted to try out. I can't decide if I like it or not. Advice/opinions would be great!

Working on some deep focus stacking, this is not easy to do. :-)
In case you were wondering, just buying a set of cheap focusing rails does not automatically make you John Hallmen.
Mad props to the master if you happen to read this. :-)

This is my first test with my brand new macro focusing rails. This is only a 5 shot stack, but this little guy was TINY. I threw it together in a few minutes and shot it with a reversed 28MM and about 12 inches of extension tubes. I can’t wait to set up my normal macro rig on these rails!!! (It's Winter here and there are NO subjects around). I’ll keep turning over rocks until I find SOMETHING to shoot… :-)

Yes, this was taken with my webcam, but I felt like posting it anyway.

Ask me questions peeps! I go back to school the first week of February, I need shit to do! www.formspring.me/iamstephgomez
The Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens has finally brought their wonderful Butterfly exhibit back!!!! I had it on good authority that the zoo was renovating that space and turning it into a bunch of flashing lights to hypnotize all the little zombie children. I’m so happy, after a year absence, we have butterflies again.
on a recent wander with my camera I came across two stickers incorporating Simpsons characters within yards of eachother
