hi ppl. never posted in osity forums bfore, but since im in part way with bonbon on this, due to our recent flood of flower shots ;), so id thought id put in a couple words. i just recently started into photography, went and got a nice digital camera packed with features( primarly all the manual exposure, manual focus, manual WB, manual everything u can imagine, i am not an auto-type guy and there is no macro-mode)so its a whole new hobby that i must explore and it surely isnt a worn-out, tired genre for me....it goes like the age old saying "if you dont like it, dont look at it". just as i create whole new worlds in bryce, im creating a view to a whole different world that most of us dont give a second thought, the finer details of life if you will. my latest macro shotis the final for the moment. i recently made a infrared-pass filter which blocks all visable light but not ir light... my sony DC is highly sensitive to ir light... im going to open yet a another view to a world not detectable to human eyes,but fully visable to my camera....for anyone that does ir photos, i made the filter somewhere around 850nm. this concludes our public broadcast. :) :P
