Red flower buds with spider web

this one turned out very abstract, but I really like it. Very different than what I normally do. Also another test shot with the Sigma 150mm macro, and I can see once I get used to the lens I’m going to like it. Not something I think is going to be handheld a lot, though.

I have the Nikon version instead of the Canon, but I love the Sigma 150mm macro — and here's the funny thing… one of the great characteristics of this lens is that it's a 150mm f/2.8 lens that is less than six inches long physically, which means that I can take it into HP Pavilion for Sharks games legally, and have an effective 225mm f/2.8 lens after factoring in the DX crop. I have some great Sharks shots, especially from warmup when I can take it downstairs. And, of course, I like it for the macro side too…

Stuff to Read

Here are a few items I think you'll be interested in checking out while you visit:

Backups: I've talked a fair bit about backing up your data and why you should. Most people don't. Most people don't. Most people regret that some day. Don't be most people. To understand why or how, check out more than you wanted to know about backups, and even more. Then I decided to follow my own advice, and then I started running out of disk and had to solve the problem. Which is all really more than you want to know about backups -- but you need to know it, or you'll regret it.
Doing Good: I donated some images to Images without Borders, who are raising funds for Doctors Without Borders to support operations in Haiti. The least you could do is go take a look, and maybe put a few bucks down for a nice print by someone in support of this cause.
Photography: There are three rules they tell photographers. I explain why those rules are wrong (at least some of the time).
Teachable Moments: I love teachable moments as a way to take mistakes and turn them into something postive. I just wish I didn't make them quite so teachable some days, as I did the day I convinced myself a ring-necked pheasant was really a blue grouse. Birders will understand...
Paying Forward: Here's where I make the case for paying forward instead of paying back.
Blogging: and because I know I'll need it, here are 50 reasons why I haven't been blogging. For when i stop blogging for a while.
Apple: And finally, an explanation of what I did for a living when I was working for Mama Apple.

Looking for Something?

Here are a couple of companies that I purchase from and can recommend to you.

In some places on this site I use links that take you to a page where you can buy a product I talk about. If you use that link and make a purchase, I'll earn a small commission and you'll earn my thanks for doing so. You don't pay more when you do this and I get a few dollars to help pay for this site's fees or to put away for that 800mm lens I'd love to buy. If you choose to use these affiliate links, thank you. If you would rather not, that's fine as well.
