About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Amazing detail in photo made with Sony a6000 & Minolta 200mm f2.8 AF lens

I snapped a water drop falling from an icecicle with a Sony a6000 camera fitted with a Minolta 200mm f2.8 lens. I used the Sony LA-EA4 adapter to mount the lens to the camera. The first photo is full frame. I cropped the the 2nd photo and inserted a detail of the water drop t she the amazing amount of detail in the image.  You can see an inverted image of a tall pine tree in the water drop.
