Really well executed Phil, and the light looks great!

My memory goes back to the late 80s when I was shooting Fujichrome Velvia (color positive slide film) and it was well understood that ISO was as much a part of exposure as aperture and shutter ...

...and yet you argued with me like you didn't understand it...

From a simple Google search: "Is ISO a part of exposure?": "Is ISO exposure?The three camera settings that give you control over the exposure - aperture, shutter speed and ISO - can each be ...

That's an oversimplification. The signal produced by the photo sensors at ISO 1600 had to be amplified 16x higher than the light was amplified when the sensor was set to ISO 100 (and even at ISO ...

I really feel sorry for the little guys cause the weather has been terrible. In January we had a few 70 degree (~20C) days, and then a few weeks ago it snowed. Now we've got cold temps and rain. ...

Lower ISOs exhibit less noise than higher ISOs simply because setting the ISO on your camera higher increases the amount of amplification that has to be done on the signal that the sensor is ...

How far away will you be when you view them, and how tall are you?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :)

I didn't say anything about that thread -I was referring to an article on this web sites. That's what's known as not paying attention to the context of a conversation :)

Thanks! I look for "magic angles" that make the most out of what little depth there is in a scene.

...and there it is. You do not magnify by printing larger, you're simply making an enlargement. No matter what size print I make, from 4x6 to poster, the magnification does not change. Enlargement ...

Not getting as much time with the camera these days, but when the weather warmed up this past Sunday and my solitary bees started hatching I had to see if I could get a shot. Here's a Blue Mason ...

I read through a few post in this thread and wanted to let you know that you're arguing with a few peeps that have a serious reality distortion field. I couldn't penetrate it, and have given up on ...

Could very well be.

Wasn't trying to be a jerk, just hate seeing it simplified and then getting into an argument a few weeks later with someone over how they can get more magnification by cropping a photo ;) True, but ...

No to both of those statements -enlarging an image (cropping) will never give you more magnification or depth of field. You'll get more depth by shooting at a lower magnification, and then ...
