A Couple of Cold Ones

We had a good snow squall this afternoon. But I managed to find these two half frozen critters out back. Tried a little different PP technique today in resizing for the web too. Still loosing too much in the transition, but i think these are better.

Hi Gary,

Nice set!!
Just wondering.. why do you use a flash but also an ISO setting of 250?

Hi Jax,
Sometime I just want to let a little more light in. I don't usually change the speed, just vary FEC and sometimes the ISO a bit. Sometimes I just forget to change it back when I shoot with another lens. I'm surprised you can see the EXIF data. Usually they tell me they can't see it. I assumed it disappeared during PP.

Both wonderful captures.
Think #1 is a dance fly.

Re the web size reduction if you use save for web options it strips the EXIF data, if you resize it yourself and just use save then it keeps the EXIF data and gives a better looking image. I just resize mine to 180 DPI 9cm short side and save at quality 10.

Well, having seen both a MOSQUITO sitting on top of a snowbank and also an EARTHWORM crawling on TOP of the snow (Wausau, Wisconsin, 1976), those shots aren't all that surprising.

NICE, but not that surprising!
