jedimasterben Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Canon T2i 50mm f/1.8 II 13mm/35mm extension tubes Found this guy as I was leaving this morning, so I scooped him up and took him with me for a photoshoot. It is a Xylophanes tersa caterpillar, will soon metamorphose into a sphinx hawk moth. Also, for anyone wondering, moving from a Sandisk Extreme U1 card to a Samsung Pro+ U3 card is wonderful when it comes to import times. Also using a USB3 card reader helps too lol. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Canon T2i 50mm f/1.8 II Took some family photos and such October 11th, here is a small selection of them. Was my first 'real' 'session' with people. AF was spot on in most photos but a lot it just barely missed. Went to a pumpkin patch October 18th with friends, despite overcast weather I got plenty of great shots without a lot of fussing with the camera. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Here are a bunch of misc shots of my cats, tank, etc. Most were shot with my T2i and the kit lens, some with a small extension tube, but most without. The next set of shots were all taken with a Canon T1i and a Tamron A09E 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. Both belonged to a photography company my sister worked for and she would let me borrow them every once in a while when she was in town. I had no clue about different settings or how to compose shots and really had no clue how to properly use Lightroom, so exposures are all over the place, but somehow some of them turned out pretty nice - I think it was the lens covering up my noobness.

jedimasterben Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 One more of Edgar because he is a tubby tubby and is currently licking a hole in my mouse-hand with his stupidly rough tongue. Here is another one of my 'hobbies', keeping Gerbera daisies, Gerbera jamesonii. A 'double' flower, two stems that joined into one. I also love sunflowers. This is Helianthus annuus, the 'teddy bear' sunflower. Nice find.I took these 2 years ago maybe.. both Cannon Rebel XSCannon 100mm MacroBlack Swallowtailhttp://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg634/nietssemaj/Macro/IMG_3823.jpghttp://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg634/nietssemaj/Macro/IMG_3818.jpgGulf Fritillaryhttp://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg634/nietssemaj/Macro/IMG_3825.jpghttp://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/gg634/nietssemaj/Macro/IMG_3826.jpg Sweet photos!

No worries, feel free to leave them (or if you insist on removing them, then leave the links there like I did), they're nice I just hate quoting photos Link to comment

kimberbee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The only thing I love more than close ups of flowers, is close up of bugs on flowers. Got any of those? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 The only thing I love more than close ups of flowers, is close up of bugs on flowers. Got any of those? Not yet. Then again I haven't really been spending much time with the gerberas as I should be, need to go out and weed the flower boxes and trim all the dead leaves and spent blooms from the plants. Maybe I'll see some bugs on them But I did find this video of a ladybug munching on aphids last week and it's kinda amazing. Link to comment

That reminds me a few years ago we bought like 2000 ladybugs to eat some sort of fungus in our back yard. Was so cool releasing them! Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 When you first sent me that caterpillar picture, I thought it was a stuffed toy. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 A little darker when exported from Lightroom. Happens a lot, not sure if it's me just not setting something right, but probably is. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks hype! I was surprised to see that flower on that gerbera plant, I just cleaned out the flower bed they're in last Tuesday and none of them had flowers, this particular one now has like six so I just had to snap one, figured with the new lens it was perfect timing Link to comment
