Challenge: Free Study 2007-03 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro for Nikon
Location: Boyce Thompson Arboretum, AZ
Date: Mar 10, 2007
Aperture: F4
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/2000
Galleries: Macro
Date Uploaded: Mar 19, 2007

 My first entry using my new Sigma 105 2.8. Shot handheld using my old D70 as I had a wide angle on my D200 at the time this guy came flyng by. Even with the macro this had to be cropped heavily.

Converted in Nikon Cature NX. Cropped and sharpened in PSE4. Saved for web.

Great shot JB. If you keep shooting north of 6.5, you'll get that well deserved ribbon soon.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

But otherwise you reaally look a lot like Grandma. 6
