Favorite photos you've taken

[kinch]

I am curious though, I had a magnifying (there is a better fancier term for this) lens for my camera, did you use one? Your pictures don't lose the depth of field on close shots. . . Just guessing.

That red tail hawk photo is amazing, @Fungo Squiggly! If that was taken in the field, I want to know how you pulled that off. Also, that fireworks shot is pretty darn awesome. I've never done the close up shots of them, but those shorter exposures look better for those kinds of shots I think.

Some butterflies, a moth, and a spider

Black Swallowtail

Viceroy (not a monarch with the post-median band on the hindwing)

Palamedes Swallowtail

The rather unholy Clymene moth

And the disturbingly large golden orb weaver

great pics!
I fucking hate those spiders!

Fabrege Egg from the Cleveland Museum of Art

This is fairly disturbing coming right after the other butterfly photos

Red-tailed hawk

This is pretty sweet. I tossed it in photoshop and played around in (Nik Collection) Silver Efex and Topaz Adjust (respectively):

I am very proud of this one. I call it: "my foot | 8/21/2016 | possible herpes"

I am serious now. This one has presence, a sense of urgency. I call it "foot with a future | 8/21/2016 | possible herpes."

I feel like this is the modern version of the "fallen and can't get up" ad campaign, except while you wait for the help to arrive, you snap a few "footies" to pass the time.

Don't make me snap a footie kicking your ass.

(And possibly giving you foot herpes.)

BTW, I met a girl on Tinder, and all went well. After a few drinks at the bar and back at her place, she wouldn't let me foot-fuck her due to my foot herpes. I tried to explain, rationally, that foot herpes was not communicable to genital herpes per recent foot-fucking studies, but no dice.

Oh well, her loss.

Yep. The birds, butterflies, and spider were all taken with a 70-300 lens. The sunrises & Faberge Egg were both with the 18-55 Canon kit lens.

I wish that hawk was in the field....it's a rehab bird down at Caesar's Creek SP. In one of @jwinslow's edits, the shadows from the wire cage are a lot more visible.

I was making it up as I went with the fireworks. I've got a whole slew of tremendously shitty ones before I started to get a feel for what settings I wanted. Odds are very good that I will have forgotten it all by next July.

Took our 7 year old to the Lego BrickUniverse at the Columbus Convention Center. Pretty neat.

I found myself wishing that my boy was old enough that I could use him as an excuse to go. Meh, I may try anyway. Legos and Buckeyes?!?! Add beer and it would be the trifecta of awesomeness. . .

Torso should be white for the towel. This looks like Brutus is wearing a cod piece.
