Nice pic!

I think you guessed it. I'd not seen a fly as big as that one before. It was larger than the bees!

Took advantage of the Topaz BW deal yesterday.

Last weekend I took the hound out for a hike, and tried some bracketed photos thinking I'd try my hand at HDR ... only to discover I don't have a tool to do it.
( I naively thought that Lightroom could do this. )

Well, I have a EyeFi card in my D5000 which auto-uploads to my phone which auto-uploads to Google+ as backup.

I didn't realize Google would auto-HDR bracketed photos ... when I saw them in my G+ photo's, a few of them turned out... not bad.

Spooooooooooooon, where did you get the 1.7 lens for the NEX? And which one?

Minolta MD 50 1.7, non Rokkor, my wife's dad had some old Minolta manual focus stuff. He gave me the 50 and a Samyang 100-500.

I'm waiting on a Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58mm f1.4 from Ebay. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday but they sent it to the wrong place.

I would love to get the 1.2, but holy crap at the prices.

So, I tried to go surfing to day, there were some awesome breaks on the outside, but getting to them was a bitch so I gave up after what seems like an eternity of paddling. Then, the Coast Guard showed up, and I realized I brought the wrong equipment to handle the waves. Enjoy.

I like this - 30 second exposure seemed to smooth the water out nicely.

Thanks. All credit goes to the pier for being particularly photogenic.
