Lapham Peak State Park 7/10/17 (pic heavy)

[crimbfighter]

Went to nearby Lapham Peak State Park today and these are the results of the walk. It was a challenge with the heat, humidity, and midday sun. Good thing my camera is weather sealed or the gallons of sweat I dripped on it would surely have done it in...

All shot with my D800, 105mm f/2.8 macro @ f/13, 1/250 sec, ISO 100, 20mm ext tube, custom lighting rig.

Very nice set. Were these all hand held?

Great set!

Thanks! Yes, they were all hand held. I generally don't use a tripod for my macro unless it's something that really requires it. Insects move too much for me to be able to set up a tripod. By the time I look through the view finder they've moved....

Great set!

Thank you!

Very nice. Tough to just settle on one, but if I had to, I think it would be #6.

Thanks! #6 sort of sucks you in.
