testing out my slow 400mm lens. takes some getting use to. I'm a bit miffed at how soft this lens is at F/5.6. Nice and sharp at F/8. It's an old Vivitar / Komine, not Series 1. I'd bet the old 450mm solid cat takes a sharper picture at F/8. But for $40 it'll work for now....
Natural lighting is always the best for closeups. Here I'm trying to get a little highlighting from the sun behind me.

On Saturday October 2nd I met with one of my photography meet up groups at Point Reyes National Seashore. It was a great day with a lot of good photo ops.
2012-12-05 - When you do a 365 project, you learn to take pictures of very common objects, and you feign being amazed by it. By the way, I think I've never seen a toothpaste with this pattern before! :D
Just like that.
Another closeup, this time with flash to brighten the colors some. I think it looks a little too stark but I do love the way it brings out the color in my hair!
This Emu gave me quite a scare when he suddenly appeared behind me. I didn;t see him because of the heavy shadows, but I turned around and he was almost touching me. His neck feathers were all puffed out and he was as tall as me. He was covered in what seemed to be powder, could have been pollen that shimmered in the sun. He didn't seem to be aggressive so I went inside for the camera and he was good enough to wait for me :-)
