You must really like mosqitos.

Very nice, unusual that fog phenomenon.

A day off from recent business trip to Korea. Some of these images seem to have 3D quality. What do you think?

 

[panyawong]

Bill;

Nice bird shots. I like the yellow head one.

Agrees... fantastic subject separation. Great job.

Thanks toddbee & Shelby. The lens kind of surprise me. It's Minolta 50/3.5 macro. I look at most my picture and found that if I shoot with f/3.5 or f/4, it seems to produce nice 3D. Usually I used it for macro and shoot at f/8 or f/11, so never noticed it before.

Gritty self portrait for my blog header... a900/ sony 28/2.8

Some days ago my new toy arrived, the A700 with the 70-300G – a joy to use. At first I went out into my garden and shot borage and basil, contre-jour. The next day I had a close look at my daughter and her friends before their A-level ball. Finally I went for a walk to our lake and ascended a tower in the historic city.
Hope you like them. Special regards to Jono; I had to come to a compromise, so the A900 + 70-400 has to wait for some years.

Thanks to all who commented. It's a great lens, fully sharp at maximum aperture, though I usually use it one stop down for dof. It's not a fast focuser even with the limiter, but after a while you learn how to adapt to it. It is the sharpest 400 mm I've ever used. And it's even better at more moderate focal lengths.
