Very cools stuff you do, folks, as always!! Me likey likey.

*********

Today i had some fun trying improvised extreme macro photography (manual 50mm lens backwards, hand held, the lens hood doubled as an extension tube)... oh, except that the first shot of spittlebugs was with 200mm lens and +4 achromat. All the subjects in these shots are much less than half an inch across.

Edit: here's a detail from a regular Colt lighter for scale reference...

Just an iPhone shot of my 5D2 in action last night at the Ancient Bristlecone Forest in the White Mountains of California. This was the second night in a row I got rainbows!

Tribal elders final resting place in the Kimberley Western Australia
formally wrapped in Paper bark...later the bones are painted with ochre

I felt privileged to view him, this is an extremely remote area that once thrived with Aborigines, the artwork nearby is considered the oldest form of rock painting in Australia, if not the whole planet. Took a total of 4 aeroplanes a chopper and a boat to get to this place

I've finally created an online gallery using SmugMug to showcase my photography in a nice way:

Visceral Psyche Photography

Enjoy!

More Yosemite:

That was part of a panning timelapse taken with my new 16-35II lens, which I'm really loving.

 

[Eren Ozkural]

You blow us away as always, Tom How wide does the aperture go on the 16-35?

Here are a couple of out takes from previous photo sets. The first one was shot in Brighton and the second in Portobello Market, London.

Yosemite at 4AM. This was a frame near the end of a long pan across the entire valley, shot with the EF 16-35II.

Bristlecone in the moonlight. I froze my ass off to get this shot, part of a 650-frame dolly timelapse sequence. Temps got down to 19 degrees F, in August!

 

[Eren Ozkural]

Loving your new lens I see. Im just getting used to seeing amazing images coming from your direction all the time Tom, post something crap for a change

Just got Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D, shot some street portraiture. Hope you guys like 'em.

 

[Rudi Herbert]

Beautiful Tom, some other stills you've posted have been, albeit wonderful, a little soft, but this is sharp enough that you can enjoy the texture on the tree...

I froze my ass off to get this shot, part of a 650-frame dolly timelapse sequence. Temps got down to 19 degrees F, in August!

Nothing a couple of six packs can't remedy I hope?

haha, even if I had beer with me, the can would have frozen solid before I could even crack it. :hand:

i tried pulling out my cot and sleeping bag, but soon fled into my car and cranked the heater all night. :laugh:

 

[Craig Ryan]

been a while since I checked out this thread; now I know where to go for inspiration. Thanks guys!

 

[Add Hawk]

Sacrilege I know these were shot on film, I use a D200 from time to time but am still rolling film through my SLR.

 

[Paul Leeming]

I love this thread! So many talented artists across all sorts of photographic streams.

Here's a few from me using my new (second hand) Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens I bought recently and got calibrated by Canon to be spot on. Looks like they succeeded!! :laugh:

Enjoy!

And a few more:

All there were taken with the 70-200mm lens. I added some extension tubes to get the macro shots. I LOVE how sharp this lens is!! And the bokeh is just gorgeous....

Cheers from Japan!
