My wife's flowers in the front of our house. Playing a bit with lens compression on a zoom (about 80 mm on the roses, 220 on the lilies).

amazing...shared by my wife.

Friday the 13th, 2014… the full "honey (or strawberry) moon," with mercury in retrograde.

Shot this almost last minute, just using an inexpensive basic zoom lens and a tripod (autofocus too on most of the shots, no less— I know, I know). It was at 180mm. No fancy telephoto, no telescope mount. The lower photo (longer exposure) shows my perch for a few of the shots. To cut the neighborhood porch lights, I actually shot  from between bushes and trees. From my angle the lights were almost all out of sight.

The top photo is the one I liked the best.

The middle two show a series of adjustments I made. I fired about 17 shots, and started a very small amount of post on them (primarily cropping tight to moon),

My son creates these small paper sculpture-creations using the remnants of tissue rolls. The sphere is from the cardboard tube, and the cube is from some of the tissue. They are really unique texturally.

I shot them on a reflective black surface using an inexpensive LED shoplight, overcast daylight ambient, and a white reflector (all played fairly nicely together). Used the ubiquitous"kit lens" (18-55mm, f4) for the 'macro'/closeups with the inexpensive Photodiox tubes. The Canon "nifty-fifty" provided the other shots.

Another cellphone shot! I absolutely love how powerful the phone cams have become. They may not be technically the greatest, but emotionally they satisfy that need to capture a moment in time ubiquitously. This was take from a courthouse window, while I was waiting in a jury pool. It was through a plate window, and yet the versatility of the camera allows for pretty decent shots.

AMAZING what he does with High speed. I don't have the capability or the equipment, but I have see the rigs for sale that allow you to do this. Cool.

Even though he only describes it as a hobby, Heinz Maier’s high-speed water drop photography is some of the best we’ve seen.

Using simple white backgrounds and colored liquids, Heinz transforms water into amorphous sculptures.
