My Vivitar flash crapped out on me, and this is the only shot that it actually fired on. I have a loose connection that I need to solder back together.

I went chasing around those same owls again. I'm sure they're getting sick of me.

I robbed the lens of my holga for use on my D200. I still haven't finished the mount for my D200, and now I want a new holga.

Free to good home. Just be careful, he bites.

Ben went on vaction and left hamsty at the house. Hopefully he finds a place for it before he leaves for Texas.

Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)

This guy was easy to shoot. He was just floating in the breeze moving pretty slowly. I do need a longer reach. I used high speed crop mode, and I still cropped the picture significantly in photoshop.

I finally got the adapter to mount the 63mm on my Nikon, but I ran into a slight problem. The lens goes back too far into the camera, and it's focusing past infinity. That, and it's so far back that the mirror would hit the lens. (No mirrors were damaged in the discovery of that fact) I need to space it forward a half inch or so. So the Ultraviolet images will have to wait another couple weeks while I find some parts to make it work.

I also found that I like photoshops HDR better than photomatix. It doesn't look fake or plasticy. But I do need to give it a try on a shot that has a wide difference between the highlights and the shadows.

Not a great shot, but I was playing around with putting a holga lens on my D200. I need to shrink the size of my vignetter. I should probably crop these down to square to make them look more like hogla shots. Not a very good shot, but at least I found that it'll work.

I got my flash today, but I ran into a few problems with it. It won't fire with a remote cord or with my SU-4. I have to buy a special pc to vivitar cable to be able to fire it off the camera. This little project I'm doing is nickel and dimeing me to death.

I also need to figure out how to take it apart. I have some moding to do with this flash.
