This picture started its life as 57 separate pictures, each produced with the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8, reversed on a D7000, all at ISO400, 1/2.5th or 1/3 of a second, in AP mode, at f/8 and -1 EV. With that, I got approximately 20mm depth of field total, which translates to maybe 1/2mm per frame at …

Is the title alone enough to suggest a story here? I certainly have one running through my head, and I can probably be bothered to type it up for you, but I hope it sparks something in you too, maybe. D7000. Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai. ISO400, 1/80th (APmode), f/2.8, -1 EV. About 7 minutes of …
So I experimented with focus stacking today… As you can see, it didn’t work out very well. This is 18 shots, auto-blended in CS6. It lost the four shots that captured the back 1/4 of the tiny rock, but I don’t mind that much. What I do mind is missing the focus increments, and the …

So I’ve been wanting to shoot the grime on my windows for awhile, and what better opportunity than a Wednesday, especially since there’s a Window Wednesday theme over on G+? I really went all out on this one, despite feeling as if I just phoned it in… D7000. Tokina 35-200mm f/3.5-4.5 AT-X, in Macro Mode. …
Not much to say, except that I should really run the vacuum up the corners and along the upper edges of the walls around here one of these days, and it’s sad when the technical section is more interesting than the commentary… D7000. Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 Zomb-E Series. ISO800, 1/250th, f/16, pop-up flash at 1/32nd, …
