PESO A drop of sap
I was trying to get a macro of this drop of sap when I noticed the interesting lines on the outside. I ended up grabbing a speedlight so that I could get a photo that was sharp enough. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/14244756670/in/set-72157644781540450 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Strong and clear rendering of the textures, both on the surface of the drop and on the surrounding wood.

Re: PESO A drop of sap
I think I like the next one better. The deep shadow from the groove in the bark makes it jump out at you just a little better. Y'all at any risk from that fire? I hope they get it controlled soon and that it's not near where you live.

Heard it on NPR yesterday evening as I was driving home. Large un-contained fire near Sequoia National Park threatening to spread into residential areas. I'm kind of vague about where you live, other than it being in California & you appear to have Redwood trees in your back yard. And I wasn't bothered to refresh my memory by looking up Sequoia National Park on Google Maps.

Very nice textures. Good thinking keeping those lines in the frame, they add interest.

It must be REALLY tough when you have so many great images you can't decide which to share with your many admirers! That is meant only in small part as a joke.

If I lived back east, there’d probably be two states between us, in Europe, we’d be in different countries. :-) Yes I know 100 years is a long time, vs. 100 miles is a long distance. I live in Felton, just outside Santa Cruz, about 40 miles south of San Jose and about 75 south of San Francisco. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Felton,+CA/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

There are reasons that I’m spoiled by living here. You should come visit sometime. Stop on your way to or home from Hawaii for a few days.

I can't get to my FarceBook acccount any more. Any chance you can send the image to me directly?

Re: PESO A drop of sap
Yes, Larry, that is pretty much the plane I flew in in Viet Nam. This particular model is an Air Force veteran, but otherwise the same as we used. The Air Force was very fond of camo paint jobs. We were mostly concerned about visibility from below, so we didn't use much camo.
