  I'm playing a bit with the "macro capabilities" of the Sigma 35/1.4
  
  
  
  Original size, but I cropped a bit

  This one is for Kent. He pointed me at PocketWizard's "Hypersync" technology to shoot flash at 1/8,000 to avoid the motion blur of the wings:

  D800 sigma 35. Loosing my shyness and talking to strangers.
  
  Thanks to raw I recovered the shadows from his face.

  I think this place was called the Black Rocks, near the Blue Ridge Parkway.

  ttisgood. Awesome.
  
  This one's a bit of departure for me. Like most of you, I tend to put my best stuff up here. But today I'm posting what I think is a flawed image in the hopes that I can get some advice. I've always been intrigued by astral photography and because I live in a semi-urban area I don't often have the opportunity to try it. But last week in CA I encountered perfect conditions. These are ok, at least they're the best I've ever done, but still nowhere near as good as some I've seen. I did learn that :30 appears to be the magic shutter speed to use before motion blur begins to show, but I can't seem to get that "look." I've posted this image as well as a few others. All criticism and advice are welcome.
  
  D90 | 17-35 | 19mm | f/4.5 | 27.5s | ISO 800
  I did leave the trees in the frame just to provide some perspective.

  The magnet ring for the muon g-2 experiment arrived yesterday at Fermilab in Batavia, IL, on the last leg of it's journey from Brookhaven, NY.

  The car was awesome looking, but the man's expression made the shot. The question is, how to get his facial features to come out a little more. Too bad you can't hear his voice. In that instant, he must have lost 50 years.

  @SquamishPhoto .. Big WOW, incredible shot.
  
  @michael66 ... I'd used shadow recovery to highlight his features. That's one neat ride!

  Another Motocross photo. Still working on the panning. Sheesh! A 1 in 100 success rate on these. Need more practice.
