Pix for the Week Ending December 23rd to 25th, 2022
1

Hello Sigma Shooters:

2022 is winding down fast and cold winter weather is already here in Denver. Time for our weekly show and tell about images taken with Sigma cameras and lenses. Remember the drill, you can enter up to 3 images and it would be helpful if you give you post a title so that comment will be directed properly.

Now go out and shoot some pix and have fun. Members in the northern hemisphere try to stay warm!

Dreaming of Summer

Hello Sigma Shooters!

It is very cold in Denver (-17 degrees F over night) and I plan to stay indoors for the next few days near my heater vent!  A couple of pix from a warmer time taken with the dp3 Merrill.

Enjoy!

Re: Dreaming of Summer

Super-nice images, Larry.

The DP3 Merrill IS the flower camera. It's like it was made for this kind of imaging.

These are stunning images, Rick.

I reckon they would benefit from a black & white conversion treatment due to the strong green and purple colour blotching in the clouds.

I've tried a conversion on the last shot. It looks pretty good.

Damselfly
5

I usually see quite a few dragonflies around at this time of the year but they are very hard to capture as they seem to spend all their time hunting and are thus on the wing.

This little damselfly just wanted to hang out on the Agapanthus buds. It seemed to make a point of NOT getting into the ideal position for a great shot, but at least when it took off, several times, it came back to the same bud.

Wandering Ringtail Damselfly (Austrolestes leda) (?) - Just outside my front door.

My suggestions (as requested) :

Mono conversion made in Silver Efex

Combination of the colour and B&W versions, with some erasing and a trip into Nik Analog Efex 2.
