Just a quick update and a recent effort from my camera.
My macro enthusiasm continues to grow with every chance I get outside, camera in hand. I also have started to develop my widlife photography skills, allthough I don’t have the qequipment to get the optics I need.

I’ll start the day off by posting my photo for the day. Got this as I was mowing the lawn yesterday. This fella’ popped up and I talked him into posing for me a few minutes.

This was a particularly difficult shot as there was almost no natural light and I couldn’t use flash because I had no diffuser. The flash was to bright without diffuser. Had to use the extreem settings of ISO1600 and 1/60th second @ f/8. ISO1600 on my Canon EOS 400D is noisy, but I did manage to get rid of some of it.
I’m playing with the idea of maybe upgrading my kit though, to get the most of it all. Time will tell.

Some time ago I made another upgrade to my kit. I love wildlife photography as well as macro photography and when I had the opportunity, I bought the Canon EF-S 60mm Macro. Some of the shots resulting in that can be viewed in the previous post, and I have a few more in this one.

Lots of work as of late, and I truely enjoy it! Less time to photo and other hobbies, but they’ll get their attention soon enough.

Outdoor getting some firewood, and I saw this sky. Had to give it a try, as I’m wanting to try all sorts of different scenery. Set up using tripod etc, but there’s a streetlight just to the right, f%#¤ing up my eyes. AF wouldn’t work, and I couldn’t see if I had it right, so I just shot when I felt close. EXIF data on the flickr page (click the image). No DoF, as I shot at 5.6 unsure of focus.
No writing done today either. Day spent re-decorating and out shopping. Got a new printer yesterday, and had to stock up on photo paper today. I got 4×6″ Canon Glossy Everyday (170g/m2). This is just for tests @ home. When I get some shots I really want I’ll get them chemically printed @ 50cm x 75cm. Was really surprised at how cheap this was to get done. 99,- NOK (about $15 and £7).
Slight more decorating to do tomorrow, but then I have to get some writing done.
About time for an update

Just a quick post of a new shot. Haven’t had much time to update and write lately, but hope to get something done over the weekend.
I do love macro, and I’m certain to get a dedicated macro lens (100mm) sometime in the coming months. (After this years car-fees etc. are paid.)

No time to post a long one today.
I’ve just reinstalled my computer after a total crash, but luckily I’ve managed to recover the items not in my latest backup.
Long time, no post

I haven’t posted here in a while, as I’ve been more occupied trying to learn as much as I can. Went to visit my father this weekend, and brought my camera. As always during winter, there’s a lot of action on the bird-feeder.
