I shook up the Samantha Snow Globe to try and capture some falling snow shots, and noticed that the little pocket of air in the globe broke up in an interesting way so I shot it! Fun times! ISO100, 8 Seconds, f/16

Fun With Macro!
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 …
365.8 Abstraktes Bild 20120105
One of these days I’ll run out of things to shoot with the macro rig.

ISO400, 1/40th, f/3.5.
365.7 Glint
Stuck in Macro mode… Still 75-150mm E Series. Still reversed. Still on 49mm extension. This time: ISO400, 1/8th, f/11.
365.6 The Match Head Nebula
I’m not entirely satisfied with this, but oh well. It’s going to be hard to get into a shooting mode after 9 hours at work and traffic, but I will find a way! Macro, again (though I did take the 50mm outside and wandered around for a bit, with no usable results). And again with …
365.5 Selfy 2012.01.02
D7000, 50mm 1.8 – ISO 100, f/ 1.8, 1/160. Lit with minimal ambient light and my new toy, a hacked-together soft box-type-thing. Fun times. Had I turned my head a bit more, or had the box aimed more at my face, I would’ve gotten some nice reflections in my glasses. This is something to keep …
