All the Secrets of the Universe and Some Really Important Stuff Too!







So over the Labor Day Weekend I did a walk around and with the aid of Hawkeye (aka Camera Girl) we spotted some creatures that look like they belong in a pint sized Jurassic Park.




Early Spring in a New England Swamp
To paraphrase George Costanza, “Spring, renewal, rebirth, all that crap.” Stuff is coming up all over the place. Some pretty, some scary. Here’s a little cross-section from my neck of the woods (southern New England). Most are with the Minolta 200mm Macro on the A7S but the first one is with the Loxia 21mm. Several of these are similar. I was trying to decide which were better, so feel free to leave your opinions in the comments.












There is no surer sign of cabin fever than the late winter indoor macro session. I look out the window at blinding sunshine. I run outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and crash into ten degrees F.
Back inside and break out the macro set up. These were shot with a Sony A7S, Minolta 200mm F4 macro lens, and the LAEA3 adapter and sometimes some A-mount macro extensions. Take them for what they are, a desperate cry for help(i.e., spring).
