Talk to Cotty, he can fit any lens to any camera. Granted, you might lose a

Spring is sprung! Just the opposite here. Grass cutting season is over. 
Have never seen a prickly pear with pink flowers - the local invaders 
have pale yellow flowers.

 ProPhoto is the widest gamut available, sRGB is the smallest.

 And that is why the red flower needed a little help for the web.

Re: PESO - Flowers' Shadow

[Bill]

I like that a lot better. The overall view of it is happier, Ann's 
comment about lightening it a bit was a good one, and now the red flower 
has more presence. I like that the white flower is brighter as well.

I like this presentation.

thanks

Re: PESO - Flowers' Shadow

Depending on the colour space you edit in, converting to sRGB can kill 
things like highlights and especially reds, which have a tiny little 
gamut in sRGB.

GESO (7) - Cemetery Flowers

The Woodland Cemetery near us has an long-standing organization of volunteer

one in the last photo in this gallery).

Re: GESO: Fagthers' Day Flowers

Opuntia spp,notably the big one, were imported into SA in the 19th C. & 
became very invasive (due to birds, I suppose). There are signs of them 
all over the Kruger Park!

These are Eastern Prickly Pears, *Opuntia humifusa*.  This species is
native to dry regions of the Northeast.

On our first trip to Hawaii, more than 40 years ago, I was astonished to
see prickly pears growing wild all over uncultivated dry areas of all the
islands.  That was contrary to my preconception of Hawaii as a wet, lush,
tropical locale.  I now know that there are a dozen or more distinct
climatic habitats on the islands depending on altitude and
location relative to the prevailing trade winds.

Thanks, Ann.  I agree the last close-up is the best image.

These are Eastern Prickly Pears, *Opuntia humifusa*.  This species is
native to dry regions of the Northeast.

On our first trip to Hawaii, more than 40 years ago, I was astonished to
see prickly pears growing wild all over uncultivated dry areas of all the
islands.  That was contrary to my preconception of Hawaii as a wet, lush,
tropical locale.  I now know that there are a dozen or more distinct
climatic habitats on the islands depending on altitude and
location relative to the prevailing trade winds.

Re: GESO: Fagthers' Day Flowers

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Thanks, Alan.

Yes, the fruit is edible, as are the pads, or nopales.  I find eating it
gives me diarrhea, so I leave the fruits for the birds, which seem to enjoy
them.  In survival school, back in the 1960s, we ate the pads as a source
of energy, along with wild onion and dandelions.  I cut back the pads
severely after each flowering season;  otherwise, they soon would cover the
entire yard.

Re: GESO: April Flowers

[Igor PDML-StR]

Dan,

Lovely flowers well captured!
The spring, indeed brought many wonderful colors, - very inspiring!

The very first one, "Dogwood Buds" has the most unusual point of view (to 
me), and hence the overall look.


It is different for different people, - but for my taste, in some cases, - 
I would consider framing with just a bit more space around the "main 
subject", - so that the flower (on inflorescence) is not filling up the 
entire frame.
From taking photos of similar subjects, I know that it is often difficult 

to do that while not crowding the image. It might still be worth trying.

Cheers,

Igor

Both trees are lemon trees. The lemons on the meyer tree are unripe.

bugs and flowers

[Larry Colen]

The weather now should be mostly rainy interspersed with a few lovely sunny 
days. We’ve been getting unrelenting sunshine and with the temp today in the 
high 70s (mid 20s for you unamericans).  My Camellia tree has started blooming 
weeks early.  

I spent a few minutes in my yard today with the K-3 and DFA100

I think my best photo is such because of the bug that I didn’t notice until I 
was processing the photos that placed itself nearly perfectly in the 1/3 
composition spot, close enough for just minimal cropping

I discovered a couple of weeks ago that I had posted very few of the photos I

beautifully decorated with flowers. Here are some scenes:

Re: PESOs (5) - Cordoba Flowers

[ann sanfedele]

I love 4 out of 5.. I'd drop the second one, too stark - no heart. 
Isabel loses.
1 and 3 are enjoyable and ful of atmosphere but 4 and 5 are at the top 
of my list..  but 4 is number 1 for me because it is so well composed.

The last one is fun, but I'm sure everyone that saw it  took that photo.

I love that part of Spain. I like that last shot, it seems very surreal.

Re: OESO: Anniversary Flowers

Yep, Char and I will have been wed two years in August. My late wife and I 
would have made it to 50 this December had not cancer and dementia intervened. 
I think Dan and his wife have surpassed 50.

Re: GESO: spring flowers etc (6)

[Stanley Halpin]

Thanks Mike. My naming of the Fly was a wild guess based on the notion that 
this is the month of May and the thing just started showing up.

As far as the mushroom is concerned, yes a bit distressed and could have used 
better lighting. I bought it at our farmer’s market a week earlier so it had 
dried out in the meantime. And I think it also was distressed because all of 
the rest of its brethren had been chosen for the saute pan and a warm swim in 
an omelet/scrambled egg dish. By the time I got to doing my planned macro shots 
I was losing patience, Meg was trying to read the Sunday paper and didn’t want 
me dimming the lights or closing the shades, I didn’t have another table to 
relocate to, so I just did a couple of quick shots and resolved to go back to 
the market this coming Saturday…

I did a a long series outside of the bee on the flower. Most are essentially 
identical; there was a breeze and I was trying to anticipate quite moments. At 
some point the bee changed positions and is more sideways to the camera, maybe 
a better “portrait” of the bee but I liked this pose.

Thanks all for your comments..

I think it would have benefited from better lighting, it seems to have 
interesting shapes curves and crevices that are lost in the flat lighting.

GESO: Early Spring Flowers

[Daniel J. Matyola]

Because of the deep and long-lasting snow, my flowers are behind schedule
this spring.  In addition, so far the number and variety of those that have
appeared (especially the crocus) are disappointing.

The warm temperatures yesterday and today have produced some progress,
although my daffodils are quite far behind what I have seen in other areas
of town.  So far, this is the best I could find:

Frost! I hope to see that and real ice again soon. Last winters are
mostly rain and fog.

Geso- Frosty flowers

Had the first frost a week ago and it nipped pretty much all of my
remaining flowers. Grabbed the K-5 and took a few back yard snaps.

Re: PESO x2: Another couple of spring flowers

[Igor PDML-StR]

Well captured!
I particularly like the Grape Hyacinth: the nice range of colors is well 
contrasted by the background.


The color of Helleborus (at least this one) is not among my favorites 
(it's close to what I call "dirty colors" [as opposed to "clear" colors]).
And I am not sure how it would look, but I would have tried to keep the 
leaf uncropped and see if they look better that way.


Cheers,
Igor

Damn this lens is amazing.


I’d love to see what it could do with the comet.



So would I. It's been overcast here every evening for the last week and a
half.





I finally saw it & got some images on my 4th try:

1. Rained out
2. Very thin cloud cover & I was looking in the wrong place
3. Rained out again
4. Scattered overcast with thin, thin clouds in between, but I finally "got a 
break".


I'm going to give it another try tonight. Chance of thunderstorms this afternoon 
& evening, but there was not a cloud in the sky when I went out earlier to walk 
the dog.


Heat index is high & I could definitely feel it. Good thing I won't have to 
carry the tripod very far to set it up; about a thousand feet.

Looks like a hot-rodded Studebaker. Maybe a '53 - '55 Commander Coupe.

The tail-lights look slightly wrong, and I don't think Studebaker had 4-wheel 
disk brakes at that time.

Thanks for the comments.  I also dislike the Morning Glory plants and 
remove when I can. I have tried with the sliders in light room but I 
need to experiment more as I am still not happy with the results.

Patrick,

I particularly like the morning glory pic—very nice use of lighting, DOF, and 
color. I hate morning glory plants, though, because once they get into a garden 
they’re almost impossible to get rid of.

If you’re shooting RAW, and using Lightroom, I’ve played with the Saturation 
slider in HSL to tame red and yellow flowers.
