Astro lakescape

This is a follow-up for the previous photo, not self-portrait though this time. I was actually trying how far can I go with my iso. This one was taken with iso-1600 and it's still suitable even though my body isn't the most expensive high-end camera.

EXIF:
exposure time - 59 sec
aperture - f/2.8
iso - 1600
focal lenght - 11mm
body - nikon d300s

The Wanderer

Here's another photo from the stranger photoshoot as I promised. Like I hyped in the previous post I am pretty satisfied with these photos, I have to admit that I still consider these as one of the best photos I've taken so far. The atmosphere is pretty creepy, a lonely man surrounded by the darkness and mist, yikes! Personally I wouldn't like to run into guy like that in similar surroundings in real life.

The stranger

Suddenly last friday night I got call from my friend. He wanted to go out to look for mist to take some photos for his band. This was a very tempting invitation and it took less than a second before I said yes to him. I've been waiting for warm summer days to turn in chilling autumn evenings so I can start photographing stars again. Even though I tried to take some astro photos, it was still too bright in the middle of the night although it was the new Moon, but I succeeded with the mist photos and band photos pretty well. Mist photos will be posted later. Here's one of my best photos taken in my opinion.

DIY-macro test photos

As I posted earlier this month, I made my own macro lens. I posted some test photos as well, but they were taken in a rush just to demostrate that it works. (See the earlier post here) Now that I have had some spare time, I decided to go out and try it with more effort given. And here are the results. A friend of mine was very kind and gave me a REAL macro lens (nikkor 60mm f/2.8) to compare with the one I did. So there will be more macro stuff coming.
