OM list: Here's some pix taken with my OM-2n. These are my 1st
real attempts at flower work. This is a mismash of 2 emails I sent
to friends, but you should be able to get the idea... Not mentioned
was the fact that I scanned these slides/negs with my Minolta
Dimage Scan Dual scanner & processed in photoshop. Hope you enjoy,
and thanks to those on this list who've helped me with equipment
suggestions. I ended up with both an Ultrapod II and a Bogen 3401
tripod (does both vertical & horizontal center column) with a
3275 junior geared head. Both setups have proven themselves to be a
great asset to flower/macro work.

This I took at Ft. McKavett as the last rays of sunshine caught it.
It appears to be a Stemless Evening Primrose! (87k, 800x671 pixels)

p.s. For the photo geeks, this was a 1 second exposure using a
cable release, Olympus OM-2n camera on manual, Vivitar 90 macro,
Kodak Royal Gold 100 print film. The f-stop was around 11 or 16 for
max depth of field with available light. I set it up & focused
while laying on my stomach, using my tiny "Ultrapod II" tripod to
balance the very heavy lens.

On the way over to Austin for an interview I stopped and
shot some wildflower pictures.
This one features a grasshopper:

The red wildflowers (anyone know what kind this is? Update: Texas
Paintbrush or Indian Paintbrush) were
very nice:

And here's a close-up, large, shot of one of the red
flowers:

Details: Fuji Sensia 100 speed slide film, Vivitar 90mm
macro lens on my Olympus OM-2n camera, manual exposures.
Conditions were great, no direct sunlight (which would cause
too much contrast and wipe out detail...). Little wind. There were high,
thin clouds that passed a lot of light. No filters were used, it
would have been interesting to try some polarization...
Hope you enjoy,

Wow. Those are knock out shots.
