I decided to take my girlfriends youngest son Nick, down to the river to take some photos of him.
The weather was awesome through march brake and I had to take advantage of it.
We got there a little early, so I took a few shots while the sun was still low but not as nice as sunset.
Buy the time it was sunset, it started to get pretty chilly and Nick was getting cold and needed to use a washroom NOW!
I quickly took these shots and we left.
I posted two photos, but I wanted to post this one also, I think it's the better shot!

Equipment and Info

The photos I post here are taken with Sony Cameras, an Alpha 230 and an Alpha 580. I use 18-55mm, 55-200mm kit lenses, a Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens, Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 and Minolta 50mm and 28mm prime lenses reversed for close up/macro work, along with a macro bellows and a focusing rail and trigger with a wireless camera remote. My tripods are a Induro A 413 and a manfrotto 190Pro. I also use some other cheaper tripods like a velbon CX 686 and an old blacks metal tripod i bought back in 1986, which still works, I use these for holding various things such as flash units or holding or draping a background on or maybe a laptop stand out in the field. My flash units I use are a minolta 3600 HSD, Vivitar 285 HV, I use a dedicated flash cord for my minolta 3600 flash, a flash wave 2 Wireless radio slave and a couple of optical peanut slaves for the others. I also use a lumiquest soft box for my macro work.
My macro photos or should I say most of my photos are not cropped, I like to get my shots in camera and I rarely do focus stacks, only if I think the photo really could benefit from it but I really don't believe it's true to photography, but if I do I do it manually in photoshop. I do sharpen, saturate and clean up dirty sensor spots but I try to keep it to what I remember the actual subject looked like.
The insects I photograph that I capture, I always release where I found it.
If I photograph an Insect that can sting such as a bee or wasp, I place in a special container that I made for photographing them in, it keeps them and I safe and lets me get close and I can shoot them at different angles.To add to this list as of 2015, for portrait work now and the flash units for insects are 4 Yongnuo YN-560II, 2 Menik SW 400 mono lighs and a Mettle 600 AD mono light with battery pack. Modifiers are a 60 inch Lumahawk octabox, 2 24 inch softboxes and 2 12x56 inch stripboxes with grids. Then of course many more stands, a few air cushioned and some not. Also a reflector stand and 43 inch 5 in one reflector.
I think that I got everything here, If anyone has a question I would be glad to answer, you can leave a comment or email me at cj2492@yahoo.com or craigspics.tk@gmail.com.
