*Added vignetting and remove blue and aqua colors, emphasized on clarity, but original red and yellow saturation maintained. Also, it's rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.*
A very difficult shot to get, especially at 1800mm; What you see is what I saw through the lens, without any digital magnification or cropping. And to think, I could have gone to 2600mm, but it would have been too big for the frame!
Just playing around with the Alpha for the first few shots, I took this by holding the shutter for as long as I liked, (1/4s) and zooming from 18 to 70mm to produce this jumping effect.
Hello, I'm the X Faktor, and I have a passion for photography, and I've had over 9 years of photographic experience, totaling over 35,000 pictures. Note that these numbers are from just regular/casual/semi-pro shooting and not professional events or anything of the such. For now, it is a hobby, hopefully to turn into a profession. One day. (I'm self-taught with everything.
(Time x Patience) + Perseverence + Curiosity + Creativity x Motivation = My photographic pursuit.
I started a new (another) photo blog due to the addition of a new advanced camera and a different field outside of macro. My other one, (thisisphotography.blogspot.com) is all about my macro photos taken with my Sony T5 & more recently, my new T500. This one, however, I have my new Sony Alpha system, and it involves a wider range of photography, as opposed to being so "focused" on macro.
Please respect my photography as mine, and do not copy these without my permission, and thank you.
