Re: PESO - Sunflower II

Thanks Ann!

The exhibit is still up - no sales last I checked. Its the rare bird who 
gets rich off art exhibits in Three Rivers, Michigan... But I'm all set 
with new inventory for my December sales.

Thanks PJ. The irony is that this sunflower is only about 1.5 inches in 
diameter - just a weedy sprig struggling in  the compost under the bird 
feeder. So in that sense - it falls a bit short of being the big 
glorious sunflowers that everyone loves.


Whenever I try growing the big ones some critter eats the flowers, 
usually before they fully open. Its always at night so its probably a 
raccoon.

Re: PESO - Sunflower II

2017-07-12 Thread Mark C

Thanks, Dan - I like them both and can envision them together as a pair.

I had hoped to catch the bud in the first image before any of the petals 
popped, so the slight imperfection of a couple petals breaking free is a 
little off from my plan.  I have a couple of other potential subjects 
that I may be able to catch at the right moment.


Plants are by no means fast moving but a day or even half a day can mean 
the difference between the subject envisioned and the subject on hand.

This was more difficult to stack and needed more touching up due to the
much greater distance form front to back.

Comments welcome.

Well, sometimes google is your friend.

I came across another photo of it on the net.

Taken by a realtor, she claims it is a wind vane (moves around). Could 
be. I don't remember it moving, but it may not have been a windy day. I 
also don't remember a restaurant, if there was one, it was not right 
next to it.

See Dan's post. The one package he didn't open, out of all the packages, 
had wings on it (also gave him the idea for the sail). And at the end of 
the movie he delivers that package and there are wings at the ranch. And 
there is a hint that she will be someone he sees again.

Funny, I've read just the opposite — of success using a DIY filter
inserted between a teleconverter and the lens it's attached to.

I expect there will be more than a few of us attempting to photograph
the eclipse next month. I've just started a little research into it
and I'm closing in on a decision as to what filter to use. My longest
lens is my FA*300/2.8 and it's happily configured with an in-lens 43mm
filter capability. Here's what I've found that looks most promising:

Anyone have any experience or other recommendations?




try to use a longer lens, like a 500 or 600mm

Now that I think about it more, it probably is for jumping through. 
Smallish horse or pony. Then you have to get the picture on the fly. I 
know diddly about horses, but the stepping idea probably wouldn't work.

I spotted this driving and pulled off to take it. It reminded me of

It was in the front "yard" (field) of a ranch. A barn was off to the
right. It took me a minute or two to get what it was for. But, on
second thought, it was pretty obvious.

Not a particularly good shot, I just thought it was an interesting
roadside curiosity.

Maybe a pony? Although I would think the wings would be too big for it.

I imagine they want a horse to step through. Not jump. Front legs in 
front of circle, back legs in back of the circle. Stand still, so it 
looks like it has wings. I don't know if a horse can do that, but 
presumably the people doing it know what they are doing (or not -- maybe 
it doesn't work). I think it would definitely be for photographs.


It's big enough around for a horse. You get idea of its size by the 
fence behind it, even though it is further back. It was large.
