Even More Fun Pictures with Nikon

[Steen]

Hey Steen, looks like you forgot you macro gear - no sweat, i got your back there :toocool:

Thanks Corlan, I just knew I could count on you and your macro guns

Don't know if it's exactly the same flower species but definitely some wonderful ZF 50 Makro shots !

Thanks for the close-up shot, Steen. They look like catsear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catsear).

I shoot them. Though I have never ever seen them in such abundance! I need to keep Croatia in the list.

I think you are right, Vivek. They do look more like Catsear than Dandelion. Thank you for clearing up this.
Your Visible & UV portraits of the plant are excellent and fascinating.

I just watched the slideshow of your UV pics.
Despite not being an IR / UV enthusiast myself I need to admit that you are certainly achieving some capturing results with your surreal approach.

Highly recommended !

Steve: You caught a decisive moment! The boy turning, the light, the bright foliage, all wonderfully captured! The B&W processing is beautiful.

Cheers, Matt

I'm pretty certain they're.. not they just reminded me enough of those shot a couple of days ago, and an opportunity for a wink.

Thanks for the kind appreciation, to you and Steve, Alex, Matt

Corlan: Thank you for your comments! These macros are sensational. There's something joyful about looking at something that closely. Maybe it's the sense of discovery; seeing something normally hidden. Maybe, I'm just weird.

Cheers, Matt

See what you mean. Macros can be compelling, sometimes as in joyful sometimes more intriguing. It's a nice exercise from time to time.

Steve: As usual, this is terrific! You have a knack for squeezing the essence out of a photo. Light, shadow, composition, and and PP all combine to make this a superlative portrait.

Cheers, Matt

I'll second the sentiments here, Steen. :thumbup: (and thank you, btw) I've been up to my eyeballs in alligators the past two weeks, and it's been tough to keep up. All I know is that it's an honor to "hang around" with such a group of talented (and very inspirational) photographers... Truly!! :salute:
