Green Spider!!

Green Spider!!, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I used my Componon to take this Macro photo. I was out looking at roses that were blooming and i just happened to see the green spider on it. I got the focus correct for my "Do It Yourself" Macro lens and this is what i got!! He was not really that big and i was like about 8-10 inches from him.

With the Componon sitting on the top of the kit lens, i can only adjust the main focal length to get somewhere close to the correct focal point. Then have to back up a little to bring it in to clear focus. It has a very shallow DOF when using this lens. When i place the 18-70mm lens somewhere around the 40mm mark i get the best clarity and focus.

Reflecting Pool at Herman Park. This was a 59 second exposure of the Reflecting pool. I love how the light just POPS!! It is, in my opinion, right at the edge of being over exposed. I used the 18-70mm Kit lens and the wireless shutter release in BULB mode. I use a very low ISO for this long exposure.

Exposure: 59
