Very nice work Ross.  I admit, I lack the patience necessary to do the insect thing.

"Nuts & honey, eh?"

An EXTREME crop, but I thought it was still worth sharing.

Thanks Jay.  Dragonflies are easier to shoot than say a flying bee.  Great capture Joe.

Thanks, but the truth is that the bee pretty much photobombed what was just supposed to be a shot of a Recon Marine looking over a 50-foot cliff.  I was culling images tonight and came across that one, zoomed in and thought "My God, that little bastard is trying to tempt his tummy."

While I was letting my once-a-week Mexican Coca Cola "breathe", I decided to exercise my 1971 Asahi Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm lens. This was shot at f/2, 1/25th, and ISO 100. Light source was the quiet warm early evening light coming through my north-facing living room window. When I proudly showed the image to the lovely Mrs. Welker she said; "I hope you did not leave any moisture rings on the living room end table". I guess all artists must suffer  ::)

Now, to enjoy my beverage  ;D

This is really a quality photo Jeff, looks like a professional Coke commercial very well displayed and photographed in great light. However, I can't believe a married man would not have expected your wife's response.  ;D

I love the picture and the story Jeff.....  I hope the beverage was a good vintage.   :)

You're too kind Harvey. And yes, I should have anticipated my wife's response  ;)

Thanks Anna. While I'm not considered a connoisseur, it sure tasted good  ;D

This is the Full Buck Moon from a couple of nights ago.  There were some pesky, thin clouds that the moon just couldn't find its way out of, and then there's that 737 that photobombed my shot.

Terrific photograph Anna. I can't let my grandsons see this or they'll be begging me to get them a quarter midget ;D

ANOTHER FROM THE NON-AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT: The morning after a sleep-over, my middle grandson typically requests Oscar Meyer Cheese Dogs. As breakfasts go, I think this is about as disgusting as it gets. Nevertheless, I can't refuse this sweet boy's petition. I just hope his parents can forgive me for the poor nutritional options I allow the littles to consume. Maybe if I pretend they're Vermont Maple Syrup Sausage Links I'll feel better about the entire situation ;)

I count four, maybe five eyelashes in focus...  The rest is just buttery goodness!

Thank you Jeff....   I think your grandsons would look wonderful in a quarter midget with their Papa as crew chief.

At f/2 and that short distance from my grandson, 4/5 eyelashes are about all the DOF I have. I'm still learning how to maintain manual focus on that narrow of a target (near eye) when both the target and shooter are moving ever so slightly (i.e. breathing, heartbeat, shaky hands, etc). My keeper rate is below average at the moment, but when everything comes together, I love the look. Like when my wise eldest grandson decides to take an afternoon nap  ;D
