Between kitchen dinner duties, pet feeding and wine consuming watched this big cloud get stuck, stretched and shredded like cotton-candy by a strong swirling wind (upper left). When the sun dropped and it caught fire tried to grab a few shots off the balcony while the gittin was good. It was really moving up there. New polarizing filter too.
Handheld ~ ISO200 ~ f/5.6 ~ 1/20sec ~ 14-42mm kit lens

Any critique is welcomed and appreciated.

DubbelShot (3rd of 3 cups)




___________________________________________


Won't be winning anything with this--and not sure how sad it is if this is the most "action" in my life at the moment--but wanted to do one of these for the challenge. Tried a few angles, macros, longer exposures etc. hoping to get some good lookin spoutage, but this pretty straight composition after switching over to the kit lens ended up being my favorite. Was a KILLER good cup of espresso btw.
Tripod ~ IS0100 ~ f/22 ~ 1/2 sec ~ 14-42mm kit lens


Eh screw it. Got nothing else to put up, so one more from the series. This one with the macro lens and a longer exposure.

I caught this in the middle of a bracketing for some HDR tests. Had to bump it way up to make up for the -2 EV. Then cropped it for effect.

Bumped up the exposure and about half a stop to bring out the shadows.

NICE!

Great feel to this shot.

Dropped a new one just up yonder.
