The New Macro Lens

If there was a Most Uncooperative Subject award in photograpy, Oskar would be in a league of his own. I must've taken at 10 pictures to get this one. He lays around like a slug until I pull the camera out. Then he suddenly wants to climb in my lap or rub against my legs.

My co-workers thought this picture looked like the cat from Pet Semetary. Oskar would have been offended by that--he's a nice cat.

Great Salt Plains State Park

This was a rather disappointing state park. First of all, it was nigh impossible to find. Then when I got there, I couldn't actually drive through the park--I had to drive around it and it wasn't a short drive, let me tell you. I did get a few pictures though.

I used a graduated fluo mauve filter, a four point star filter, and a diffuser on this one. The mauve filter really brought out the star effect--unfortunately, it did the same thing for sun reflections.
