close up of the tattoos show the clients goosebumps and raised skin common results of getting tattooed.
This is a macro photo according to the Canon classification, as the eyes are bigger than 1:1 (life-size) taken with an 85mm lens and a 26mm extension tube.
The last of my spring bulbs to open is always this double headed Narcissus - Thalia. Nice to have fresh blooms @ end of April. A small group shot & a close up shot
Just a few lingering Hummers are around - hopefully a few more will show up after the storm passes tomorrow. I got up early (really!) to get a few shots in. I decided to try for an "extra" close shot. I didn't want to use the macro and risk scaring them.
I used a 300mm lens with a 2X TC and about 56mm of extension tubes for this shot. Starting with decent light which deteriorated with each thing I added to the lens left me with 1/60th of a second at f/13 even at ISO 640 from a distance of about 2 meters. This bird is in flight and you can see all the little blurry wing action. No crop.

Watch the edge and the spray please..This is about as close as I was game to venture near the edge.The wind was up and every time a wave crashed into the ledge sea spay caused a problem with keeping myself and camera dry..
Ran across a set of male Blue dasher shots from the mountains, taken with the Super Macro setting - which means he let me put the lens right in his face. Love it when I come across a friendly dasher!
You all may have heard about the couple in their 60's who were murdered here in Georgia when someone answered their Craigslist ad about wanting to buy a '66 Mustang. They were members of our church for decades and had a "Bud's Bikes" ministry of restoring old bikes and giving them to poor kids. We didn't know them but they were good people: he was a Vietnam vet, served as an elder & in the choir. Service at our church today. We know they are with the Lord but If you'd like to pray for their families - they leave behind three adult daughters + grandkids. Life is precious - make each day count.
