I’m starting to take a liking again with my 60mm micro. With the carry-on being tight on how much you can take (equipment), the 60mm lens gets left behind. The thought has happened more than once to send this lens down the big road (eBay). Anyway, this shot is up close and tight in the center of a poinsettia. For the technical gurus including myself, it was shot at 1/30, f30, iso320, Nikkor 60mm micro with 12mm extension tube. Enjoy!

Softened in Photoshop. Used a 60mm Nikkor Micro lens.

Ok, guys and gals, I’m the type that goes out does the last minute Christmas shopping.  During my adventure of making my stops I happened to run into Santa Clause.  I’m glad to see Santa has upgraded his way of delivering gifts to the children.  This photo was taken with my camera phone and we know how the quality is.  I’ll say no more about that. 
I want everybody to have a special Merry Christmas, and best wishes from thesportswire.net.

Here’s a couple of 6400 ISO Ambient Light shots from Sycamore Shoals Elizabethton, TN. over the weekend.  Captured in RAW and coverted using Nikon’s N2x.  Then, resized to 700px. No post processing other than the resizing. Less noise than the D3. I’m pleased with the D3s performance.

This shot is a combination of 4 long exposures and combined in photoshop. Then I masked out unwanted areas of each one until I came up with what I was after.
