A quick selection on photos taken from when I was staying in Mulhouse, France with my cousin and auntie. Because Mulhouse was so close to the boarder, we went to Germany on the first day I got there and Switzerland on the last day. Switzerland was INSANELY expensive. I was experimenting with black & white (and a bit of sepia) with some of these shots.

I'm also thinking about using Tumblr, as making posts with this many photos is a hassle, especially when you want them in a specific order with captions.

Note: Some of the images are unclickable, dont ask why -.-.

Clouds, Clouds everywhere!

I don't know why, but I love clouds. Pictures don't always do justice though, which is why I try do a lot of time-lapse videos. Here is one I did today:

Macro

D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/8 1/5s 

Taken with a Nikon D80 + a reversed 50mm lens 

D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/11, 6s 

D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/5.6 1/5s 

D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/8 1/5s 

All of these shots were taken in January 2010, but on different days. The last one was shot while it was snowing (hence the ice). The Sigma 180mm macro lens is a REALLY good lens for the focal length. It's amazingly sharp and balances well on my D80. The only slight problem is the auto focus, it hunts a lot! But manual focusing with macro is pretty much the only way at this focal length anyway.

:OOO!!!

testing?!
