Redneck Macro. This is an MDX tube for a super macro shot. Nikon D810, 24-85mm @85mm on Macro with a cheap magnifying glass in front of the lens. It is lit by standard overhead lighting and more about texture and cheap tricks than anything.

I swear he didn't really vape! Taken with s9 while Neelix messed up my pods. I didn't put that pod there. It just happened .


neelixvape.jpg We got home today from my parents house and as I laid out a bunch of pods to check and or fill, Neelix sauntered over and sat on them messing up my neat organized lines. I quickly grabbed my s9 and snapped a pic of the Lord of the Pods!

Topical pic, with a tough game and tough lighting via a 2009 LCD-HDTV. :D
(Yup, my TV stand is a 2003-era XPS P4 gaming tower, in blue. It still runs.)

Just simple crop/adjust in DPP v4. I could've made the WB/lighting better in the software, but didn't.
I like how the ref appears to be standing on the scores..that was a one-in-million lucky shot...hehe.

Taken with my s9. A Remembrance tree in honor of my brother Christopher. RIP Chris. I started using my Aleader bHive again and thought it was appropriate. 1st shot is the small tree and vape at base. 2nd shot was a hand check next to the only clump of leaves left alive. I miss my brother.

took this using a light box to diffuse the light source

Have 2 lights with orange filters on to give it a more natural light exposure one each side

just a phone shot (iPhone 8 plus) but used a mount to steady the camera

Have a wood block underneath

Light editing on the phone itself to crop the image and bring out the grain a little better

Basic 1.1 RDA on The Furyan (disassembled and brass areas cleaned up with Wright’s copper cream)

I'm going to post one of my favorite setups out of anything I have. I say one of because I have two Feedlinks with Drop Solos. I just installed a new N80 framed alien and I'm still breaking it in. I put it on an orange pencil box (full of building tools & cotton) for contrast. I didn't wipe anything off on purpose. All the magic happens inside that 22mm circular chamber.

*Taken with my 2 or 3 year old camera phone (natural lighting)-

Nice shot what did you take the pic with JF? Is lighting natural? amazing to get that much detail on the coil from that high up

All of the rules and guidelines are in post number 1.
While On the subject: each photo is supposed to have an explanation of the shot, how it was taken and it’s inspiration for it to be eligible.

I was outside for a while and felt like taking some shots. I thought it would be pretty to get a photo looking upwards at the bottom or a tree. Again I just used my phone to take snaps. The shots I like the most aren't what I had in mind but turned out okay.

That one was my favorite because the needles were in focus. Here's another similar pic but close objects are out of focus.

This is what I thought would make a great photo but I dunno. It's an old poplar tree that just got through the winter. I wanted my squonk in another position but it wasn't going to stay put.
