October 19, about noon.
I thought it was a Monarch flitting around at first.
Tiger moth's are alright, though.
55 micro at f 8, 1/20 sec hand held, ISO 100.
I got very lucky with this shot.
The D-200 tends to slight over-exposure with low contrast grey back-grounds.
Out of camera image, except for re-size.
October 21 at sunset.
There was something wrong with this young Canada goose- probably clipped by a semi-truck up on the express-way. I don't normally close in this near~ about 2 1/2 - 3 feet.
I left it alone apart from a couple of photo's, and resumed my fishing. 20 minutes later, the goose was dead.
Micro 55 at f5.6, 1/125 sec at ISO 125.
Again, untouched except for re-size.
Nice for the partial shade conditions.
This lens is better on the micro side of things.
October 22, mid afternoon.
The carnations are still opening up at this late date.
We had frost late evening on the 22nd, so frames like this are going to become extremely rare.
I popped up the flash for fill to minimize wind effects.
The camera keeps reverting back to it's default flash setting of 1/60 sec every time it's turned off, and I keep forgetting. Slight motion blur there that would be non-existent at 1/250 sec, which
should be the default setting. It still worked, sort of....
1/60 sec at f8 at ISO 100 on the micro 55 with the flash on.
Straight out of camera except for re-size.
Regards,
Doc Sharptail
