These were fast n fun

I don't do a lot of artsy-fartsy shots but the mist on the plants this week was too much to resist. I even did a few fun B&W conversions! https://www.flickr.com/photos/kadath/albums/72157716589717032 Buuuuut, somehow my new Z5 got set to capture JPGs. Gonna have to figure that out. It...

I believe that is a sundog. https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-resources/astronomy-questions-answers/why-are-sundogs-called-by-that-name/#:~:text=A%20sundog%20is%20a%20concentrated,faces%20parallel%20to%20the%20ground.

So this was fun. I was selected to be the photographer of the month for my local photo group. They showed off a few of my shots and let me blab about my interests a bit. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SSJdPh1t7ISZ-FPN6oc3A8BorNh3qrfF/view

Cool @JimmyO welcome to the photography sub-forum =) I almost busted you as a spammer till I saw your history on the side there LMAO =)

Very cool, John. Sorry to hear you got semi-burnt on this one. I really respect what it takes for people to get their art into magazines, stories and other formats. It never was and never will be my bag...

Wolf Spider? Or maybe a spotted orb weaver? 18-DeckSpider-5641 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr

house Finch? http://janehadley.net/BayCenter/housefinch.jpg

I'd put in an artificial vignette. This would remove the blown out sky and the corral details and focus on the star of the shot.

Man, this looks like fun. Now I am bummed I went solo!

Is it safe?

I'd love to take a crack at Petey raw conversion if you are willing! Just send to sposten at the gmail. If not, understood too!

No giclees. I’m saying since Costco doesn’t make em I don’t do em. Nice metal and canvas prints tho!

If it aint at costco I don't get it =p

Right, that's what I did. And the difference is minimal on these shots where it was outrageously obvious to me on previous cameras.

Handheld, 105VR Nikkor, not sigma. I'm, uh, not exactly sure where my 150 siggy is right now... It was mostly a test shot to make sure I had things set right. The light was terrible and I was in a rush. Obviously the raw settings are dorked up. On the Adobe vs sRGB I've had frustrations...

Wraaaaaa! First shots today with the D850 nearly ruined. I know I set the camera to shoot in RAW. No idea why it shot JPG only. Testing Adobe RGB vice sRGB output. Lemme know what you think. This is a Dagger Moth Caterpillar. I'm pretty sure that dark spot is its eye. AdobeRGB...

Good dog! Love the Osprey. Cool focus stacking! Bet you could have fun with that setup and a tilt/shift lens! One suggestion! I think shots from down lower might have more oomph to them. Not sure Bird's eye is always the right choice here. I'd experiment more, lower.

I'm not a fan of stock services but I bet that would sell like hot cakes during the Christmas season Scott. Great execution on what could be a very over done subject.

I've got no beef with 3rd party lenses. I love my Sig150 Macro for example. The Tamron 28-75 2.8 was my first Nikon lens upgrade and I loved it too.

I think I'mma gonna like the Sig 150-600 and 1.4x combo... First time playing with it today and it's passing clouds and still putting up images like this... 17-SunAndMoon-5705 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr 17-SunAndMoon-5687 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr

I'm not much of a portrait photographer but I love the bokeh and fine details on this one. Wish I had gotten a slightly different angle on the face tho. 17-4th-3826 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr

I love that effect John! And Mike's dogs!

Yeah I don't think a porsche is in my future. I might be able to swing a 350z or even a 370z but a moderately newish Porsche is unlikely. Ideally I'd get the refreshed 2019 Tesla Roadster but I might have to see BOTH kidneys to do that. =) Will have to settle for car pics in meanwhile.

You guys are killing me. I want a roadster badly, but my body type and wallet are not conducive to such things.

That might be better off in its own thread. JMO
