    That's beautiful but it reminds me of an angel in her casket! But it really is lovely!! I'm having fun with the pods. Who's next?

    Gorgeous pic, OT. It does have that "angel in a casket" look to it. Love the detail. Did you do it as macro?

    Be honest with you I don't remember a lot about it. I think it was with the 105 macro. When I saw the pod shots I said to myself I got something somewhere and dug this out of the throw away bin. Cropped it a little tighter than the original and threw it up.

    Seems to have some noise there, OT, and I detect a little blowout of the highlights near the left side of the pod. Or is it just me?;)

    Your right it aint perfect. That is why I had to dig it out of the throw away bin. But I did think it fit the theme that had gotten started. Even with the flaws I kind of liked the way the crusty pod contrasted with the fluffy softness of the inside.

    Nice Pod,

    I really like the composition - did you get a good version?

    Now I see. It's more of a self portrait, huh? See, we knew there was a soft side to that old grouch exterior. ;)

    Hey, I'm ready anytime. I would love to work on getting up there and going around to shoot different places. Now that I have the Ilford b/w film, I would love to re-do the covered bridges up there with it.

    I shoot this well over a year ago. I did get 4 or 5 frames on the subject but nothng that really turned my crank. I had shot something similar on film many years ago (mid 70's) and had hoped to duplicate it, but they just didn't make it.

    I have no idea what is going on with my posts now. This is the second time my post has moved in front of one I was responding to.
