How did you do the close-up ones?

Thanks!

Basically I just held the lens about a centimeter from the leaf and shot it, but that won't work unless you have a really nice macro mode though... or, in the case of an SLR/D-SLR a really nice macro lens.

Boy, I sure am glad he didn't post his whole gallery!

Translation: "Those were excellent! I hope he posts some more!"

(I do, too! Some of those would make great Windows wallpaper!)

I need a photographer for a Right Hand Pointing project. Requires an urban location. Let me know if interested and I'll provide details.

I like it too. It looks almost like a painting.

Thanks folks!

Instead of posting the rest on the forum here's a link to a good deal of my better stuff: http://jordannb.deviantart.com/gallery/

There's three pages of photos... the rest is various stuff like vectors and photomanips (from before I got my camera.)

Great shots JordanII. Did you use a tripod? I can't keep mine still enough for those kinds of closeups.

BTW, I'm also in Michigan, USA. Kalamazoo to be exact. Where abouts are you?

Lovely photos, Jack, Jordan, and JK. I always enjoy seeing what everyone is up to.

Here's a picture I took a couple weeks ago. It's of a mama bear looking out of the bushes about 20 yards away, and a baby bear up a tree.

It isn't bad considering I was holding the camera at arm's length with my right hand, going for the bear spray with the left, backing up a boulder-strewn trail, and talking soothingly. "No problem, mama. We'll just be on our way. There's a nice predator..."

(can't get it to show. It's here.)

It's certainly dramatic!

Most of them were handheld, but I did use a tripod for the sunset shots and some of the other nighttime one's

I'm in the thumb... about an hour north-east(ish) of Saginaw.

I've never been to the thumb. What a great idea for a weekend road trip. I've been trying to think of something different to do before the weather turns.

Those are wonderful, Jordan. Good composition and excellent technical quality. I particularly like the second one. No idea what it is, but that doesn't really matter.

Here is one of mine:

Civa

This is the Sweedish yacht Civa at the crest of a 7 meter (23 foot) Atlantic swell, photographed from my old yacht Naomi J somewhere between Peniche in Portugal and Porto Santo (the island east of Madeira). The passage took 5 1/2 days and the photo was taken on the third day. For most of the five days it was too rough to take the camera out on deck. The wind was force 7 to 8 gale from the south-west which was the direction we were trying to go. Imagine a roller coaster ride that goes on for 5 days...

We were three yachts together on that passage, Naomi J, Civa and Balder, all less than 30 feet long and apart from some wet bedding (my own Naomi J. stayed dry below), all three came through it with flying colours. Two yachts and five fishing boats were lost in that gale with loss of life. This photo of little 26 foot Civa taking it all in her stride should prove that in ocean cruising it is often true that less is more. Civa's design is based on the world famous folkboat.

Just for good measure, here is my own Naomi J on laundry day in Portugal. She is already wearing her small jib on the roller furler in anticipation of the crossing. The photo was taken a few days before the same passage where I took the photo of Civa. (The Naomi J was later lost in collission with a freighter 300 miles west of the Cape Verde islands.)

Thanks! It's actually a Korg Radias synthesizer... (yes, I know... completely untrad, but hey, what can I say?)

You've got some nice photos... I love the first one!
