That is a BIG question, that will be only answer in a year or two from now.
She like big SUV - X5, but not X3 or X6

I told her that with any X you got only trip to S.Carolina, not Munich. She was not happy with that. 2 early for her any way.
Maybe she liked new F30 (keep my finger cross), or we have two separate trips - one to Performance Center delivery to pick up X5, and one just a vacation in Europe.

Or on the way from Vacation, instead to flying back to LAX - flying to Greenville, South Carolina.

Remains of the Day

mikeokimster · 10-31-2011, 10:39 PM

fall....

M_Six · 10-31-2011, 11:16 PM

Nice shot, Mike. Great color and composition.

DnA Diesel · 10-31-2011, 11:33 PM

D5000, 18mm, F3.5/30sec, ISO400

Pushed the saturation a bit, but the rest is untouched.

M_Six · 10-31-2011, 11:37 PM

^^^Another nice one. How is the foreground lit? Flashlight or some other light source?

DnA Diesel · 10-31-2011, 11:44 PM

Mark, believe it or not, it's light from my garage carriage lights (incandescent) bounced of the trunk lid of my 335d. The maple on the left is actually a crimson maple turning colours, but the center tree is a beech and doesn't look even close to red during the day. The shot looked interesting enough on the camera last night, but I didn't download it until tonight, tweaked the saturation a little to bring out the colours a bit more. It was still a bit humid, but you can see a wee bit of the Milky Way slightly right of center running slightly off the vertical.

It was shot in JPG large/fine...next time I'll shoot RAW.

Cheers
D.

creepy... nice DoF. How far away were you from the grasshopper?

adrean8j · 11-01-2011, 12:25 PM

^^^Hmm....maybe 4-5inches IIRC

Chewy734 · 11-01-2011, 12:29 PM

cool.. I have the 100mm f/2.8L IS macro, but I've used it more for portraits than for macro so far.

M_Six · 11-01-2011, 12:57 PM

You do have a thing for insects, eh Marc?

Great shot, btw. Was it tough holding focus that close with such a narrow DOF?

Actually I think I have a thing for macro. Insects happen to be interesting macro subjects. Holding the focus was not to difficult because: A. I had the camera on the porch B. Subject was freshly molted, so not very mobile. C. Time delayed shutter

Just set the focus 1:1 and slowly moved it in range, actually took about 10 shots and this is just one of them.

@Dave: Thanks man!

Ah, nothing like a cooperative model.

What's your feelings about this lens over the 100mm macro? Are you going to try that one as well?
