Oliver Chong > 2008.10.18 - Day ? : I've tried to take this shot previously, but I lacked two things at that time: control over my lighting and a lens that could get close enough. The rose is one of a dozen I gave Irene on our anniversary earlier this week. Uncropped, unadjusted, and unedited beyond removing a dust spot.
Oliver Chong > 2008.08.28 - Day ? : A preview of October in New England... Even the flowers know autumn is coming. I have no idea what plant this is, but it was growing in bed at the apartment complex entrance. *Mystery Solved! - Thanks CSPics, it does indeed seem to be some variety of Lantana. Shot on a light gray table and composed as a 3 shot HDR.
Oliver Chong > 2008.07.06 - Day 85 : If you look back on June 19th I took a photo of some flowers I got for Irene. Well when cleaning today I found two petals from that had fallen off the orange flower. As an experiment I tried focus stacking a few exposures. I continuously find that the Sigma 70-300mm has it's limits. It's sharpness falls off quickly from the center and the focus ring is really too soft for being very exact. After a few tries, I am reasonably happy with this final image. Taken with natural light from the window on a white poster board. Back fill 1, back fill 2, and back fill 3.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.19 - Day 68 : Irene started a new job on Monday so i got her some flowers. They provided for another nice organic shot. Jeremy always says I should use the story telling apertures more so here's another. I normally won't go above f/11 due to diffraction, but I tried a range of them. I couldn't discern any quality loss in the shot so I went with f/22. Another back fill. A bit of an artistic photo... of art.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.22 - Day 10 : So I decided to try something different... 1:1 macro shot again.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.21 - Day 9 : A coworker was kind enough to let me borrow his D70 w/ Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens. I've been considering picking up a macro lens and the Tamron comes in a Canon mount so it's comparable. I think I did alright considering I had never touched a Nikon system before. This is the same calla lily that I shot on the first day. Thanks Jeremy!
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.20 - Day 8 : The magnolia bush at the entrance to my apartment complex bloomed and since I missed taking a picture of its flowers last year I had to take one this time around.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.13 - Day 1 : The first photo in my attempt to take at least one keeper everyday for a year. In this shot I loved the shape of the flowers and how they are nearly identical twins. They also fit in nicely with the season as it only has just started getting warm enough for spring flowers in MA. *edit* I mistakenly stated this photo was taken on the 14th, but it was actually the 13th. My EXIF is wrong because the camera was still set to Japan Standard Time.
2008.10.18 - Day ? :

I've tried to take this shot previously, but I lacked two things at that time: control over my lighting and a lens that could get close enough.

The rose is one of a dozen I gave Irene on our anniversary earlier this week.

Uncropped, unadjusted, and unedited beyond removing a dust spot.
