I appreciate your kind words, Philippe!
Phillip - Those butterfly shots are outstanding!!
No landscapes as weather is poor so just a couple of images of my kids
Thanks to rji2goleez for pointing me towards Mogrify!Eddie, thank you very much! Lovely images of your children! You and they will treasure them years down the road. They will be at that age just one time and you cannot re-do them later.
_______________________________
I am gearing up towards my next trip to Costa Rica. While I was pretty pleased with the frog, reptile and snake images back then but the darkish condition in the rain forest necessitated to use high ISO settings. I used flash back then in several cases and yes, a tripod helped but yet, I felt there was something that can be done to improve those images. Again, I don't feel like seeing images that scream "flash" but yet I would like to keep the ISO to be around 800, instead of 3200 or 6400 or even higher back then.
I ordered a circular flash modifier for macro and portraits. No, I don't want to use it for portraits but macro? Yes! Well, I got it yesterday and I have been playing with it since then. The orchid has roughly the same dimension as the red-eyed tree frog and of course, I won't be taking images of a greater ratio than this, I don't think. I took that indoors and the light conditions probably are similar to those under the canopy of the rain forest there in CR. If I bumped up the ISO to 800 then I can get a faster shutter speed of faster or around 1 sec to prevent, no, to minimize the critters' movement for being registered. What do you guys think? Thanks!Joshua,which circular macro flash did you get ? When I was shooting canon I had their twin macro flash.
Douglas, I had the twin flash, as well
. I will send you a PM with the brand and source of what I bought/used as I don't want to endorse any product here. Here are the images of the setup and the comparison of the flash modes I tried it out. I will use the slow flash mode but I will underexpose the ambient light up to 1-stop to give me a little bit darker surrounding but not as dark as the result of the fill flash, which to me is too much for my taste.

Quite unusual for you, René, and quite wonderful IMHO. And thanks for the kind words. Similarly Joshua, delightful, and thank you too. And Phillip, also in some less-than-typical shots. And Werner. Your picture captures the Gestalt of Venice exactly as I feel it. Congrats!xpfloyd wrote

Yeah, another fscking squirrel, but I'm testing the Canon 400L F5.6+ Canon 1.4 Tele Extender MK III combo.
I'm almost blown away by the sharpness that's maintained* with the combination - so much so that I ordered the 2x extender to test. Would be nice to have a usable 800 option for mostly stationary wildlife at least.
AF with the MBV still works well too. I doubt I'd ever get BIF with the combination, but I was also surprised at how quickly AFS locked on.

*as in allowing additional sharpness in PP.

Great butterfly shots, Phillip! In case you'd like to have names, I can identify them for you (butterflies are another of my interests outside of photography):
Papilio rumanzovia (Philippines)
Morpho sp. (probably achilles - Peru)
Graphium agamemnon (SE Asia)
Heliconius ismenius (probably Costa Rica)

55/1.8 - I'll have to go through official channels to try to get permission to photograph inside this place; it's one of the top five examples of preserved monastic art dating from the construction in 996. But one door closes, another opens in travel work, this guy and the shopkeeper made great subjects. It's the 55 enigma again, an imperfect lens that takes very satisfying portraits, so casually.

First shot with my new Voigtlander 40/1.2. Just some random shots here in Keystone, CO but so far, I really like it.

Yes winter and no light (two weeks no Sun) is a tad old.
