1. These are amazing. Setting aside for the moment the general beauty and composition of these...

those milkweed fibers look like silver fireworks! :thumbsup:

2. Thank you! Wavelet Sharpen and a bit of saturation brought them right out.

3. Yup...silver fireworks

8. Thanks. It's nice to have a camera that shoots well enough that very little

processing is needed.

It's going to take a while before I can use the power of that little black camera. There's so much to learn.

9. Each time I scroll I have a different favorite and see more details.

These are just wonderful. You must be so very happy to have the camera and the eye to use it this creatively.

10. Thanks. The camera gives a lot of flexibility. It's got enough pixels to allow

for cropping. Love the manual settings, though the auto settings are quite good.

11. Those are absolutely fantastic!

Great shots, I love that you were able to get those sparkling silvery streaks while maintaining the crisp details of the rest of it.

Amazing.

12. Thanks. Slow shutter speed and high f Stop. Usually you want little depth of field,

on closeups to isolate the subject, but this subject needed some depth of field. Objects in the background were far enough away not to be distracting with generous depth of field.
