Ron Kruger replied to Aaron Muncy's discussion 'Vivid Color'"And with the right lens, such as the DA 15mm Limited used here, you can shoot directly into the sun for some dramatic effects. If you want to see more Pentax shots, Google Ron Kruger and click on any link to Photoshelter."
Ron Kruger replied to Aaron Muncy's discussion 'Vivid Color'"Here's a recent shot taken with my Pentax K20D that had some very tricky lighting and dramatic colors."
Ron Kruger replied to Sandi Gagneaux's discussion 'How to get a Professional name for your photography'"I really had no choice about my website name, because I didn't do any customization. I think Photoshop uses that as a defalt head for SEO reasons. In the slot for name, I only put Outdoor Photography.
I figured someone's ego would be…"
Ron Kruger replied to Sandi Gagneaux's discussion 'How to get a Professional name for your photography'"If you are going to specalize in MX action pics, and market primarily to participants and spectators, include some kind of jargon or slang in your name that everyone recognizes as part of the sport. Specalizing is the way to go in this age, as long…"
Ron Kruger replied to Geoff Thomas's discussion 'some basic photography tips'"Excellen advice, Geoff. No one likes to hear it, but I advise those who want to really lean about photography to set everythng on manual for a few months to get a basic idea of how apature, shutter speed and ISO relate to each other. It's all…"
Ron Kruger replied to Sweetgirl's discussion 'WINNING SHOTS'"Fusion offered about the best examples of capturing emotions in people that I've ever seen. Very nice.
What is so tough about such an assignment, is great shots like his rely a great deal on luck of the moment and a split-second finger…"

Fusion - Ian Kydd'Miller replied to Ron Kruger's discussion 'Best Lens I've Owned'"Canon 70-200 f2.8L and 85 f1.8 USM, both are great lenses that do the job for me."
Ron Kruger replied to Sanjay Upadhyay's discussion 'SUGGEST THE BEST DSLR FOR ME'"I've shot seriously for almost four decades, and I'm no fanboy of any maker, so when I switched from Nikon to Pentax a few years ago, it was for pragmatic business reasons. Pentax is by far the best deal on the market, especially when you…"
Ron Kruger replied to Argie Catubig's discussion 'What's with the megapixel?'"The megapixel race between manufacturers has pushed the number far beyond what is needed for all but very large prints. At 8X10, I can't tell any difference between my $150 12mp P&S and my many-thousands 14.6mp DSLR equipment. As Patrick…"
Ron Kruger replied to Aaron Muncy's discussion 'Vivid Color'"To get richer color from a Nikon, bump the sat and contrast in your camera and shoot at the lowest ISO. Part of it also has to do with light and lens. Some lenses render richer colors than other, and colors will always be more vivid with the low…"
Ron Kruger replied to Bai Yin's discussion 'Please share your experience with 2.8 lens'"For shooting sports, I don't think you'll have time to mess with focus points. You need to shoot quickly most of time. At 200mm and f-2.8 and the distances you describe, your DOF should be fairly wide and you shouldn't have much…"

Terri Weidman said… - I joined MMS a couple of weeks ago and have been fascinated with the macro photography. I have decided that I want that to be my #1 style. Saw your reference on the macro group to your wildflower macros. Most of those flowers are breathtaking. (The photography isn't bad either) :> I see you live in KY. I live in the desert, where there are also an amazing amount of tiny wildflowers. Can't wait to get a camera and lens that can record them. Thanks for the inspiration. You do amazing work.

- thanks for your comment on my killdeer chick. i look for them every spring. if you have killdeer in your area, look for their nests on the ground out in the open. the nesting material usually consists of merely a few small stones, many times out in the open, so watch your step! the eggs are white with brown specks. once you find the nest, you will know the area to watch. on the first few days after hatching you can see them running everywhere.
