This is another view of the "Just Hanging Around" image with a different lens set-up and a different exposure. This is a 1:1 (life-size), at the sensor, image. I imaged this member of the 2013 Magicicada Brood II where it landed, hanging from a low branch of a small tree in the parking lot of Poet's Walk (park) in Red Hook, New York, USA, on July 05, 2013. There were quite a few active adults in the trees and the sounds, to me, sounded like what you might hear if you were operating an electric weed wacker. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 model 52BB SP 90mm f2.5 macro lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 18f 1:1tube with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A mount on Pentax K20D camera, hand held, manually focused, ISO 400, Shake Reduction set to 300mm focal length, f16 on lens, 1/180 sec, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post-processing, editing, adjusting, cropping, or re-sizing.

I imaged this Cicada shed nymph case where the adult Cicada emerged from this case. The nymph lived underground and before emerging came out from underground, crawled up the tree trunk, crawled out a branch. and crawled out to this leaf. If you view this nymph case large, you will see the dried mud still coating the outside of the case from when this nymph lived underground. This nymph was a member of the 2013 Magicicada Brood II and was imaged in the parking lot of Poet's Walk (park) in Red Hook, New York, USA, on July 05, 2013. There were quite a few active adults in the trees and the sounds, to me, sounded like what you might hear if you were operating an electric weed wacker. For this image, I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 model 52BB SP 90mm f2.5 macro lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 18f 1:1tube with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A mount on Pentax K20D camera, hand held, manually focused, ISO 100, Shake Reduction set to 300mm focal length, f13 on lens, 1/180 sec, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a less than 1:1 close-up. This is a full resolution Large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) and is without any post-processing, editing, adjusting, cropping, or re-sizing.

I encountered this Flower Crab Spider on a Daisy flower along Mill Road between the road and the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, near the intersection with Downey Road, in Millerton, New York, USA. I used my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 model 52B SP 90mm f2.5 macro lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 18f 1:1tube with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A mount on Pentax K20D camera, hand held, manually focused, ISO 200, Shake Reduction set to 100mm focal length, f22 on lens, 1/180 sec, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is a 1:1, life size at the sensor, macro. Please view large for details. This is a full resolution large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) without any post-processing, editing, adjustment, cropping, or re-sizing.

This Damselfly was posing for me on a rock and flew away momentarily returning with this caught insect. This scene was imaged at Jamie's Pond Wildlife Management Area in Hallowell, Maine, USA. For this image, I used my back-up macro lens, a manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 model 52BB SP 90mm f2.5 macro lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 18f 1:1 tube and Tamron Adaptall-2 01f 2X flat field teleconverter with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A mount on Pentax K20D camera, hand held, manually focused, Shake Reduction set to 200mm focal length, ISO 400, f16, 1/180 sec., with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash. This is 2:1, at the sensor, macro. Please view large for compound eye detail. This is a full resolution large JPEG and is Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) without any adjustment, cropping, or resizing.

This image was an experiment in In-Camera Post-Processing. At this time in my digital imaging, I have been content composing my images in the camera in Large JPEG and posting Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) exactly as taken. I was curious what the possibilities could be by enhancing this image. I first turned on my camera and took an out of focus image to create a new folder. I removed the SD card to my computer and copied into the folder the original image and reloaded the SD card into my camera. I opened the original image in Post-Processing Filters in HDR mode and added the lowest value and saved the file. I opened the saved file in Post-Processing Filters in Brightness mode and added the lowest value and saved the file. I removed the SD card to my computer and moved the files to a folder on my computer and uploaded this new enhanced version. While I tend to like everything in life in its natural state, I find this image to be rather pleasing to view large. Even the small craters seem to pop out. Please view this image in the Original Size and tell me what you think. I appreciate any and all feedback. I took the original version of the image with my manual focus Tamron Adaptall-2 Model 55BB SP 500mm f8 Mirror Lens and Tamron Adaptall-2 140f 1.4X Teleconverter with attached Tamron Adaptall-2 Pentax K A mount on Pentax K20D, manually focused, hand held, with 39mm 2X Neutral Density Filter mounted to rear lens cell, Shake Reduction set to 700mm, ISO 400, f11 with TC, 1/250 sec with available ambient light. With the 1.4X Teleconverter, this lens was functioning as a 700mm f11 Telephoto Lens. This is a full resolution Large JPEG image and is without any re-sizing or cropping.
