1. Well that's quite the picture

I'm pretty much left speechless, and I like to talk!

I'm glad you found this place.

[Expat in Korea]

2. Glad you like it.

That little fella was unusually patient with me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Wow!

That is stunning.

I think you're going to have lots of fun here.

[Expat in Korea]

6. I already am.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I'm glad!

Oh, would you mind telling me what time it is in Korea right now?

I'm in CA (big surprise, lol!) and right now it's about 7:45 p.m.

8. 1 p.m. on Saturday.

I'm about 15 minutes late replying...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Ah, no worries!

I went off to watch some TV.

I know you're a day ahead of us. Isn't it amazing that we can talk and be on different days?

Thanks for answering!

[Expat in Korea]

10. It took years

for me to get used to talking to people who were still in "yesterday."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. I believe that, lol!

I have not had any extensive conversations with folks who live in "tomorrow" till last night and tonight with you.

But we can still do it, even though the International Date Line divides the planet between us.

[Expat in Korea]

12. Of course...

...that would be yesterday afternoon and this afternoon for me. Heh heh...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Of course!

It's night here.

My iPad has a map that shows the whole planet and you can see just where the line that divides light/dark falls at any given moment. I'm not looking at it now, but I remember how it looks.

4. Whoa.

That is splendid. I am duly impressed.

But how do you know he/she is happy???

[Expat in Korea]

5. :D

I was just making that up. It looks to me like it's smiling, that's all.

14. what equipment did you use?

ive never been able to get that close

[alfredo]

15. Very Good!

[Expat in Korea]

16. Glad you enjoyed it.

As for the gear: Nikon D800E, Sigma 70mm macro lens, flash diffuser. It's cropped a bit.

[rdking647]

17. i can never get that close

even using a 180mm macro

[Expat in Korea]

18. I don't know why this one

was so tolerant of me. Maybe it was sick or something. From time to time, I run across one that lets me get that close and often when I look at the photo later, I find that it was wounded or in really bad condition. This one didn't look sick or injured, though. Not sure.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

22. Can I play?

[Expat in Korea]

23. By all means!

The coloring on that one is new to me. I don't think we have those around here. Thanks for that!

[juxtaposed]

24. very nice image!!!

Have u ever stepped your focal point when taking such close pic's

[Expat in Korea]

25. Do you mean focus stacking?

If so, yeah. I've done that, but not with a live subject.
