And evening light.
NO filters, no photoshop, nothing but the camera- DX7440.
4 MP, macro setting, resized by photobucket to 90 k I think. LOL I love Photobucket, I don't have to do any resizing myself! God am I ever lazy.

Aww Ekat, yer making me blush.
But if you really want em, I will send you the full size 4MP stuff, you can do what you want with em.
That junk lens is not so sharp, but a clever and sneaky photoshopper like some of these guys on here could do a few tricks and they'd be good. There is a sharpening procedure that really works, and oughte be a feature, maybe it could be made into a macro, but I am far too lazy to mess with it.
Probably good enough for 8 x 10 right now, but you might want bigger.
I'm going to get out the 6 X 7 and tripod, load up some fuji chrome, and play one day soon, if I can lug that thing around the yard without resting every two steps, LOL.
NOt sure if I have the strength to wind the film on that monster!
Hey Photog guys, is there a digital back for the pentax 6 X 7 ??? THAT would be SWEEET!!!!!!

Ragmeat, for once I understand you are joking.
Maybe there is hope after all.
Good for you!

nICE PIX DirtNeye.
I too like to snap closeups of blossoms around the house, out on the trail, and especially up in the high country where they are so tiny that it takes a macro shot to get the details.
Thanks for sharing them.

Hey Dirt. Nice shots. But you're not supposed to TELL folks how EASY photography is! If anybody could do it I'd be out of business. Oh wait, I almost am. ;-)

HAHA, Jerry, now there's a compliment if I ever got one.
YOU are a photo-god.
OK I'll try and make up for it....
Folks, it took me 35 years to refine my technique. And I got lucky at that. Don't try this at home!
Seriously, it ain't the camera, it's the toil and trouble guys like Jerry and nlundy and the other great photogs on here go to, spending literally hours and hundreds of frames sometimes to get the perfect shot.
They drag huge view cameras, barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways, suffering horribly along the way, as all good artists must.
How's that Jer?
Um, how about you and the others post something done with the less is more idea? Just don't embarrass me too badly.

Best g0dd@mned 35mm camera ever for action or most anything was the Konica Auto reflex T, with a 28 and 85 mm lens. about 20 years ahead of its time. If they had had a good 28-85 Zoom back then, that I could have afforded, that would have been the sh!t

"Huge view cameras, barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways, suffering horribly along the way, as all good artists must." Yeah, that about sums it up.
Dirt, You're killin' me. god? Uh, my head just exploded. Office looks like the inside of the microwave after cooking chili without a lid. Ego is now fifty times the size of my brain.

Woah,
Wine Country!
Got Syrah?
How 'Bout Petit Sirah!?
Back on topic, which is maybe working with elemental tools:
pin hole camera.
photogram.
How 'Bout Man Ray's Work:
(lot of thread drift and perhaps a bit of innovation there)
man those grapes look good...

JODY! NICe pics, don't you love that konica "every setting visible in the viewfinder, full manual over ride in a snap, perfect handling baby?
EVEN the minolta maxxum 9000 was not as good, but came close, and that was over a decade later.
HEll yeah man, the Konica auto reflex T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You had a 28 to 80???? Hexanon??? man I am JEALOUS!
Mine was the first one, not TC. Got it in 72 or 73, hexanon 85 mm lense, and a vivitar 28 and a vivitar 200.
The 28 was on there 80% of the time. Got a set of extension tubes for macro.
Also had a rolie TLR copy- the Yashicamat 124 G.
I gotta get some stuff scanned, is scanning from negatives a good idea?
Jer, those are very, very nice. I love your work. the three grapes one is my fave. Man those are sharp images. I hate anything soft.
I think if you only had a POS, you could really go somewhere with this photography thing.
I'll happily trade you mine for your high priced, heavy, overly featured rig, that is only holding you back, cause I really like to help when I can.
