Yo! thanks Guy and Nick...those images were sitting on my hard-drive for ages . I didn't really care for most of my images cuz I already had printed them into a book using Blurb's services ages ago.

But you can see how limited the photographer was with only ISO 100 film. It would have been muuuuuuch better with a D3 at ISO 25000! No...wait...
lol, imagine at iso25000, that would be like shooting that moment at 1/500sec at f/16 , it just won't work bro. Everything in that shot has been calculated properly...i.e. I used iso100 cuz I wanted to use 1/15th on the shutter to capture the fire dancer (at iso2500, you won't capture the whole fire, just the stick , so yeh, iso25000 is boring) and I used f/2.8 to isolate the subject. I did carry 3 bodies that night: one was with iso100, the other 2 were on iso400 and for push process up to iso1600. Certainly the film days were the "heavy days" and a D3 would be much better, if it was available but even though I had a D3, I'd still be using iso100 on that fire dancer shot .
Ok...I'll post three shots that were taken today. The details are described above the photos. As always, all were shot on a D1 and no PS botox stuff and no cropping...damn those dust bunnies .

Modified Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5 P nonAi
Both ants were around 3mm long and were standing on a Rosemary herb. The modified Nikkor 55mm f3.5 P nonAi simply was another experiment that I did to achieve a new "optical" feel lol. All I did was placed a special industrial magnifier lens infront of the Nikkor lens and it looked pretty good . The blue background was just a blurred blue coloured bucket and all three images were shot outdoors.
those shots are just incredible, but this one makes me wonder.... are you the official photog for "The 4400" season 5 ? this really looks like a cool pic from the series...
