When life gives you ginger, you make...

Harvested from my backyard. In normal times, I would share this with my friends and neighbors. Since we are all doing our part with shelter-in-place, I have to do something by myself with all of the harvest this time. I had this in the pan on my kitchen table when the morning light, coming from a window, shining on this raw ginger had me marveling at as simple a thing as ginger which, in normal times previously, I hadn't noticed at all! The color, texture, and aroma...are all simply wonderful! I hope I'm not the only one noticing more things now, sheltering in place, than when there was no restriction on movement. Shot with Sigma 30mm F1.4 lens on Sony A6500 camera.

Precision Macro Focusing Rails for Macro Photography

4-way macro focusing rails with two rails (one goes left-right, the other goes forward-back) to assist in macro photography. While it can be used with just one of these, I find having two assembled (as shown in the picture) makes it easier when focusing closely. Precise movements are especially useful for focus-stacking. The only thing I don't like about these is the red-colored knobs. Since these are used at such close proximity to the subject, these could contribute to unwanted color cast. Would have been nice if they were left black, like the rest of the parts. (image shot with Sony 55-210mm lens on Sony a6000 camera )

I Feel Your Fire

Shot with Nikon 70-300mm lens on Nikon D200 . The past few days have been weird, hot with heatwave and smoke-filled with wildfires. Sun still peeking through the thick smoke from the fires burning in and around San Francisco Bay area. I was literally at my front door when I shot this picture...air quality was bad to even think about going out to look for a vantage point to this beautiful orange disc in the dark sky around 5 pm. Today, the World Photography Day, I'm glad I got to shoot something without which we most likely wouldn't have photography to celebrate.
