Another of a caterpillar egg

Took this over at the entrance of the Greenway at work in Alpharetta. There is this patch of Passion Vine that usually has plenty of caterpillars on it munching away but so far this year nothing. This is also the only time I've seen eggs on these plants.

I've looked the last several days and the egg is still there, maybe this morning will find something more.

strobist info: 500w/s bounced off of white background with black sheet of construction paper behind the glass and in front of background so light peeks around the sides and top of the black paper.

Lighting was a little harsh here.

Cherry in a Martini glass

Messed with these photos for an hour or so, dropping the cherry and trying to snap the shutter when it hit the water.

We have been discussing another shoot for a calendar for her honey. Not sure if anything will come out of it, but I hope so!

More Fireworks from the 4th

More from the 4th, I would like to take more nightime shots of buildings and of the skyline here in Atlanta. One of the problems is the best places to take those kind of photos are a bit scary. The only one that may not be so scary is from a art school parking lot where they don't let you take shots without sneeking about unless you are a student. I have gone there and scouted about during the daytime without incident and have asked at the security desk only to be told I'd have to ask permission from someone that is there only from 9-5.

Panorama, Sint Marteen

I've been here several times. I only once created this type of pano. I've tried this several more times with assorted places around the house and have found that PSE and Lightroom seems to be having trouble stitching them together and not varying the exposure from frame to frame. I've even used photos that were exposed on manual with non of the setting changing. Maybe the whitebalance, I'll have to check that.
