HAPPY WOOSDAY

Pic from last trip to Molly's world.

Cool photos as usual on Woosday, here are a few from a week or so ago.







Thanks for looking.

Greetings Gator Bait,
are you shooting with a 105 macro by any chance?

I love them both Beli! Over the moon my friend!!!

Nice Beli. People's talents are so amazing. Here's my son with a quality redfish. We decided to let her swim in thanks for the specatcular topwater strike and subsequent fight. Good karma:

And here's my son playing with a snake. We ate him--JK!

 
Hi Slotmercenary

Yes, you nailed it on the head, good call. It is a fantastic lens and I would hate to be without it. The photos of the Cuban Treefrog were shot with my Nikon CoolPix P5100 point and shoot, it has a great macro mode and is a great little camera.


The flash unit is a Nikon Cloe-Up Speedlight Remote Kit R-1 that is controlled by the built in controller in the D90. Not all Nikon's have the built in controller. It is all wireless and you can add many more flash unites and place them almost anywhere on or off the camera. It is the perfect compliment to this lens.

I also have a set of fully automatic extension tubes that will let me get in even closer. They are great in that they are relatively inexpensive and have no glass elements to them to corrupt the Nikon optics.



With them I can shoot things like this little Leaf Hopper.


Here is the set up for that shot.


For long range shooting I can adapt my Nikon spotting scope which gives me a 1500mm f13 lens. Here I was shooting the Moon.





Just for the fun of it HERE is a slideshow of all my Woosday photos.


 

Great photos!

 
Thanks my friend, I am always happy to share. And Thanks again, as always you have blown us away with fantastic colors from your beautiful country. Those are great paintings.

Thanks abacobrad, Woosdays are a fun tradition around here and it is a sad Tuesday that goes by without a Woosday post.

 

 
Cool! They are very interesting animals (I say the same about snakes too, LOL). I have seen a few Glass Lizards since I moved down here many years ago and am always amazed by them. They are not as flexible as snakes and the first one I found was in the shallow rain gutter they build into some of the streets down here. His scales were so smooth and the concrete of the gutter so hard he couldn't get back up out of the gutter and was trapped there. I was on my bike and stopped and helped him on his way. What made me wonder about your photo was the scales on it. I can't recall seeing a snake with scales that smooth and shiny. They are probably out there but I just can't think of one off hand. If you look at a Skink, the four legged lizard, they have similar scales to the Glass Lizards, so smooth they almost look wet. Thanks for sharing, that is a nice find.
