Had the first three rainy days in a loong time this week, and liked the
change... since the rain is fairly warm and at the same time cools down
the city a little.
Got tired of losing the close encounters and switched the hood in my
50mm for a reverse adapter and #1 extension ring. Now I'm macro-able,
but the wind got too intense for that kind of work in the streets. Go
figure...

Joseph, numbers 2, 4 and 9 worked well for me - did you get closer?

A few shots I took the other day. It was overcast so the light level
low, just as it was with the Study in Chain Link, shot at the same
time (mostly).

Comments and criticisms are always welcome as I grow(?).
I was working with the DA 50-200, and was about as close as it would
focus, hand held, at 200mm or less. #9 (Grass and Moss) was certainly
a fluke, being as sharp as it is. Being overweight, with knee
arthritis and wearing boots that were too big, standing still without
swaying back and forth is impossible. But for that 1/45th of a second,
I guess I was able to stay within the capabilities of the sensor
twitching motor.
The reason for the long zoom was I was shooting photos of the dogs at
the Lowell Dog Park, as I do most every day. I usually don't carry
anything other than this lens or the DA 18-250. I do have my Z10 with
me all the time, and writing this reminded me that I have the
capability there of super macro shots. I'll try some today.
Here in Everett, we're getting pretty tired of the weather. Of
anyplace in Puget Sound, Everett is the one spot that has not been out
of the fog or total overcast for almost two weeks. And today's
forecast confirms that it may be the same until Wednesday, when it
will rain. :-)
