Okay I have the camera 80% set up though I won't claim I have everything worked out yet. Damn auto ISO.
Because they warm up more quickly than the normally coloured variety, the melanistic adder is much harder to spot basking out in the open like this, but the chill easterly wind meant that this one was forced to bask for longer and with more of its body exposed than usual.
Ok I cheated- one old spiders web, one water sprayer and a miniature rose in a pot :) . Taken at about 2:1. Focus stacked from 2 pics
2021-257 Puzzle - A pirate walks into a bar. The bartender notices that there's a steering wheel attached to the pirate's crotch. The bartender says, "You seem to have a steering wheel attached to your crotch." The pirate replies, "Arrr! It's driving me nuts!"
I don't know what the final form of this puzzle is supposed to look like. The kids got rid of the original packaging. It's driving me nuts!
I had recently found this beautiful field of sunflowers. The last days here were quite rainy and as yesterday evening the clouds started to break up a bit I drove back to this field. It was great! before taking this shot I had plenty of different cloud formations in the sky and good light. But as so often theses days finally I end up editing the last picture of a shoot. This is so often the case when I'm shooting during sunset. I usually have enough time to get the whole magic light and sunset, I try around with a couple of compositions and then just before packing up my gear or even after packing up I setup again for a last shot. And in 3 out of 4 shoots this will be the picture I like the most.
This field of sunflowers also was a big challenge in case of composition, it was not easy to find the right flowers for the first row, either there where to few and I had emply corners or it was to much. Here I think I got a nice distribution in the foreground :-) And I loved the dramatic sky as a contrast! Bad weather in germany sometimes also makes for a good shoot, but I'd really prefer the coast again :-)

A Nursery Web Spider (Pisaura mirabilis) on dead wood on the floor in Surrey woodland. It kept still just long enough for a focus-stacked portrait.
Something cool and refreshing in this heatwave.
I love the colour and the way the water formed in such an even distribution of tiny hemispheres that magnify the petal detail.
Four image focus stack. Petal roughly 2cm long.

Macro isn't really my thing. Photoshop isn't really my thing either. But it was fun to learn something new for this week's challenge. This is a focus stack blend of six photos, each at a slightly different manual focus from front to back.
Focus stacking: 4 images.
Location: Blockhouse Point Park, Montgomery County, MD.
M. uniflora is a flowering plant devoid of chlorophyll. It survives by parasitizing fungi, commonly a small range of l hosts that are members of Russulaceae.
I wanted to try this technique for a while now. This is a combination of four different images. I focused on a different spot for each one, then merged them in photoshop pretty much the same way you do a pano.. It's all automated.. It's pretty cool, but it did come out a little goofy... Here is a video tutorial that I followed
