Another post ... This one is pretty chunky ISO 3200 on a 5D2.. Samyang 14mm cant remember how many images in portrait stictched in lightroom. Aiming south at aurora. The noise is prevelent more so because I bought the exposure up as I liked the look of what it was bringing out in the image. If anyone knows any secrets on reducing the noise please by all means chime in and help me to better my skillset..

I haven't been getting emails for this thread for a while now I guess...? I thought that I was going to revive it from the dead.
Here's a few Infrared photos.

We visited Seattle and the display over there was really nice. Took lot of pictures, don't want to post all to crowd it here lol.

Like the new camera and prime lens, was never able to take these shots with my old camera.

If you don't like bugs/spiders and other creepy crawlies, then don't open the spoiler.
These are what we come across, in our adventures as a pool man. Both servicing pools and installing equipment. You just never know what's inside skimmers and pool equipment.

This one pool, for the last 4 weeks, has had very many scorpions in it

as well as this 5 inch centipede

This is easily the largest black widow I've come across in my 3 years of this work. This thing was under a pool heater we took out.

This right here, is why just opening a skimmer lid, can be dangerous, lol! The outer circle of the opening, is about 10 inches, so that gives you an idea of how big this thing was.

Otherwise, here's a baby lizard I saved from watery grave. I think it looks quite happy to be alive.

And a big pudgy caterpillar, working its way across my porch one night, lol

All of these were taken with my cell phone, since I have yet to get some kind of waterproof camera, that's easy enough to tote around.

suraswami · Aug 22, 2015

Wow what phone is that?

Samsung Galaxy S5

suraswami · Aug 22, 2015

really? my wife has that phone too, yeah it takes good pictures and quality videos too.

yotano211 · Aug 22, 2015

Weird I have the s5 and the camera sucks. It gave me a reason to buy a Nikon d750.

Well, we'll let burtram continue to work his magic; my dad's S5 has absolutely atrocious image quality

How are you liking the WiFi on that D750?

I havent used the wifi yet. In reality I havent used the camera much. I have only taken about 100 pictures. Not enough time atm. And I still need to take some picture taking classes. Next classes start towards November.

I used to own this lens. Sold it to buy a Macro Lens 40mm which is what took this picture. I missed the lens so much bought it again used. $145 perfect condition

40mm 2.8

With the 35mm 1.8

Octopuss · Aug 30, 2015

Guys, does anyone here own the Sigma 18-35mm Art lens?

suraswami · Aug 30, 2015

Picked up an old Pentax 35-70mm AF lens for $20. Lens made in Japan. Takes really nice sharp pictures. Lens has macro feature and I like how this small flower could be focused close.

another one pretty close focus at 70mm.
