It was such a beautiful afternoon, I wanted to go for a photowalk around beautiful Old East Dallas. Alas, my (not quite so mild as I make out, but still undiagnosed) agoraphobia got the better of me before I even got out of the apartment complex. Oh well. There was some nice light streaming through …

365.13 Some Strange Skin
Three guesses on what this is. Here’s a hint: It’s not extraterrestrial, but it’s also completely unnatural. Give up? Ha! Back to the Macro Rig: 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series, Reversed, & Extended by 49mm. ISO100, 6 seconds, f/16.
365.12 – They Missed My Head…
… But I didn’t miss them! Sigma 30mm 1.4, at 1.4, ISO100, 1.640th (chosen by the D7000).
365.11 – Abstraktes Bild
And we have a new entry into the Macro family! Who is it? It’s the 36-72 f/3.5 E Series!

365.10 Tiny Bubbles

Apologies in advance for any headaches these may cause… All shot with the 75-150 f/3.5 E Series lens, reversed, jutting out of a D7000 on 49mm worth of extension tubes. ISO100, 2 seconds, f/3.5.
365.9 Samantha
Yes. This is a photo of an American Girl snow globe… It’s in my possession, but isn’t mine (don’t ask), and I’m not particularly excited about the photo, though I’m simultaneously (and strangely) rather pleased with it. Same rig: 75-150 f/3.5 E Series, reversed, and extended by 49mm. ISO 100, 2 seconds, f/11 (maybe f/22 …
