It’s been awhile since I’ve built galleries and uploaded them here. I might get back to that eventually, but until then – most everything is ending up on Flickr. :)

And now — Rolling Stone. :)
I bought a set of extension tubes today (Rokunar 13, 21, and 31 for Maxxum) and decided to play with some non-typical macro shots tonight.
I used a 50 f1.4, 50 f3.5, 100 f2.8, 135 f2.8, 500 f8, and a 70-200 2.8G. I got a little bored early on and upped the ante by stacking all of the tubes on top of a kenko teleplus pro 300 ×1.4 on top of a kenko teleplus Pro 300 ×2. Dragged out the giant tripod and I was good to go.
While absolute sharpness and a lot of light were missing (used my 56AM flash), the results turned out much better than expected. EXIF should be intact below images to see which is which. I didn’t bother cropping down, so the images are the fullsize view resized to a max 800×800.

Some shots from APW (including the back of Stuart ‘I play drums for The Police’ Copeland’s head). Also some shots of my new buddy, Mr. S. Tray Katt. There’s also one after I cut my hair, checking to make sure I still looked presentable.
Back to the cat… haven’t really worked on a name for him – so it’s just ‘Kitty’ for now. I’ve gotten as far as de-flea-ing him, and I’ll see where it goes from there.
He is a stray, and it is a lot easier tending to a cat than trying to spread world peace (a task which I may not be cut-out for). So far the main downsides are the hundreds of mini scratches on my hand left after ‘playing’. Teeth are involved, but fortunately they’ve never broken the skin.
I need another event to shoot before this turns into a cat blog. :)

It took me a long time to just get down to it. Dribs and drabs were flowing, but I was a little overwhelmed until I came up with a way to organize and display the images from two weeks ago.
I shot the Virgin Mobile Festival for two days in Baltimore, MD on August 9th and 10th. I came back with a lot of pictures. The set (sets?) linked to below covers almost everything I shot. I put up JPGs (shot RAW+Jpg) from the camera with some cropping for composition. I didn’t have enough time or inspiration to edit and tweak each one – just too many. :)
I think I did alright, but see a few areas where I need to work on my technique. Something to look forward to…

Went to the Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore over the weekend to shoot (thanks, Dave @ Bumpershine).
A lot of acts on the bill, including Stone temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, Bob Dylan, Kanye West, Foo Fighters, Iggy and The Stooges, Lil Wayne, Chuck Berry, and many more. Bob and Kanye weren’t having it with the photographers, so no dice there for what would have been some great shots.
Here is a teaser gallery (while I sort through the 43GB of images I took).
