Sarracenia Collector
Just figured I'd upload some of my favorite shots that I have taken, CPs and non-CPs alike. So, here we go:

PJAS2011065-1.jpg

Can never get clean images of forests for some reason... always come out pixely. And that's at low ISO and no Digital Zoom

PJAS2011135.jpg

PJAS2011138.jpg

PJAS2011148.jpg

PJAS2011140.jpg

I was going for how the next picture is, rather than a clean crisp shot.

Wow, thanks!

Really? I'll upload the others then. For some reason, they're really pixely, although I never used anything computerized to take them. The only ones I like are the bluish pictures!


Beautiful pictures!!
Thanks!
See you (and your hamata) next month!
 
Great shots, the first two particularly appeal to me. In the second one, it's interesting to follow the paths of the sparks as their direction changes with each mini-'splosion.

With the forest shot issue, besides low ISO, what settings are you using? I'm no photographer, but in the little time I've had to learn about this stuff, I've found that high a f/stop always give me grainy shots. Might be worth checking on, at least.
 
nice, the one photo of the forest with the fog hovering over the tree line really reminds me of the mountains in vietnam, something about that photo reminds me of it
 
Eep! For the first time in my 5 years of growing, I have FINALLY got Sarracenia seeds to germinate, so expect pictures. Unfortunately, I most likely cannot have a 24-hour light, which I have a question about for in the winter:
I know my sarrs will go dormant under 12 hours a day of lighting. Will they require cooler temperature when they're young? I just really do NOT want to lose these.

Really? Hmm... my powershot ranges from 3.4 to 8.0. I thought 8.0 would be better as everything would be in focus. But maybe not. I will try that.

I don't think 8 is going to give you grainy shots, I typically shoot at 10 if I want a little depth. I was talking more like 20... that always gives me grainy shots, LOL. Maybe it's not grainy but blurry. The camera may not be focusing right for landscape shots. Being a Powershot, it doesn't have a manual focus option, I imagine? If so, you could experiment with that.

Also, I have to recommend CHDK if you're not already using it - it'll give you far more control over your camera.

Neat pictures man, I love all the pretty flowers and the sparkler in action is rad.

It does have MF. That's how I got many of my macro shots. I'll try that.
Chdk sounds interesting. Will look into it.

Thanks. The sparkler was my best light painting yet.
