This was from my backyard. I used my macro lens and got about 3 inches from this butterfly or whatever this was. To increase the depth of field, I forced the flash and set my aperture to 9. I used the flash on the camera; I didn't need any fancy macro flash. The sun light is too harsh, so this type of photo needs to be taken in the shade.

Very colorful picture. There was a long line of kids waiting for the face painting. The face painter gets all the attention in this picture, but I like the expressions of those kids anticipating and waiting for their turn. (Fuji X-Pro1, XF35mmf1.4R, ISO 800, 1/2000 f/1.4)
Another pic by my new Fuji X-Pro 1. Awesome color, good contrast. I found this leaf that stood out so much in this frame so I have to take a pic of it. (Fuji X-Pro1, XF18mmf2 R, 1/1800 f/2.0, ISO 200, Pro Neg. Hi film stimulation)
My Fuji X-Pro1 was just delivered to me today. Here is one of my first shots. At 9:00 PM, DQ is still selling soft cones. I took this from the drive through window. It looks like a "behind the scene" type of photo. Well, so far this camera is so much fun. I will write a review soon, but let me shoot some more pics first.

Finally, wildflower season in Central Texas. There aren't much to take pictures of in Central Texas except for this time of year when wildflowers are everywhere. Paint brush and blue bonnet are common ones seen around my house. This was taken in Temple, Texas where I live. The place looks like a fairway of a golf course filled with wildflowers. I find so hard to take a good picture of wildflowers. It's really technically difficult to take a good wildflower field picture. Here, I got very close to the flowers near me to show some details of the flowers. But, if the depth of field is too large, the picture can become too busy, so I narrowed the depth of field (larger aperture) and made the top half blurry and not disturbing. If I make the aperture too large then the picture looks like a miniature picture. I also lower the angle of view by getting low on the ground to take this picture. Our eye level is boring when I take pictures. When I get lower, I can capture more flowers in one shot and the flower bed looks denser.
