DA 15 - My new favourite lens right after the DA35. I haven't had it too long so not many photos with this lens yet.

Soar

Street Rush

Sydney Sepia

that first image takes the cake IMO Xhanatos

let me add my recent 35DA picture here too:

Blue · 10-27-2009, 11:21 AM

DA 21mm ltd: Taken at 6:57 pm rather than am as the time stamp says and close to dusk. This dock survived surges from some of the hurricanes in 2004-05, but a restaurant adjoined did not. The structure is there but condemned. It was operating since the 1920s.

Da 35mm ltd macro

very little pp on either other than extracting and sizing.

I hope you don't mind, it took me 3 minutes to make the first shot a bit more interesting...
If I could have the original RAW file and more time to remove the ugly sign
on the right side, this picture could be really great!

Wow! Blue! With those wasps, you got really close didn't you? Did you wear like a protection suit or something?

I rarely use protective clothing. I'm an entomologist and have been working around these ladies a long time and have a pretty good idea of how far to push my luck. It was actually safer that day because I wasn't using the ring flash. It pissed them off more when I was using the 105mm and ring flash. When 1 gets mad, they all usually do due to alarm pheromones.

do you specialize in a specific insect Blue?

(thats my dream btw, to become an entomologist)

I have worked with several as per job assignment. Ironically, I worked with a leaf-hopper known as the and part of my job assignment was working with grape growers there in Temecula. I worked with those guys for 4 years. I have worked with aquatic insect and insects economically important to perennial crops (grapes, citrus, apples etc.) for the most part as well as invasive species.

I quite like it.

axl · 10-27-2009, 04:13 PM

yeatzee · 10-27-2009, 05:35 PM
