Poaceae by Pascal Volk

It snowed last night; not too much, but enough. I got out the Zoom H6 with the built in XY mics set up and headed to the park to get some good crunchy snow walking sounds. It took me a couple of goes to lock everything down - an annoying tinging noise turned out to be my coat zip swinging about. There are still a few knocks from the wire of the in-ear earphones I was using (I didn't want to be too obvious about recording so I didn't use my over ear headphones). That's the trouble with holding the H6 with the XYs on - there's a lot to be knocked and tapped. Using the Manfrotto PIXI Tripod with the legs together as a pistol grip works really well for keeping the clicks and pull noises that I used to get from handling the H6 directly. On the recording we have me walking about on grass, pavement and over drifts of frosted up leaves. We can hear distant train horns, the rumble of the traffic on County Way, people passing by (a child complains that their tummy hurts) and a child in a pushchair crying while the parent's dog yaps (nice echo on that). I tried another recording without the wind protection, but even moving created some thrum and blow as the XY mics are quite prominent on the H6.

Nova Scotia, Day 4. {Bucket List Shot} My most productive day so far, because one: I’m feeling better, thanks for all the good thoughts, and two: that breezy weather I was whining about finally moved those sticky and stubborn clouds by noon. So I drove to Blue Rocks and did my first and pretty short time lapse in this trip, and meanwhile taking random shots with other camera, with super wide and super tele lenses (I like extremes lol) that turned out pretty good, but needs some time to pick and process and I’m too tired! Then I drove back to the Peggy’s Cove. And I’m sure I’m gonna visit it again; absolutely in love with it. Even when it’s not too kind. @rich.nixx reminded me of Geminids meteor shower, and I was on my way to do a Milky Way with the lighthouse in foreground. Two birds with one stone? Sure! Got there at 7, and the “breeze” was insane. Guessing too over 70km/h, I couldn’t even stand still, even with all the great. So I took shelter behind these big rocks, which limited my composition options, but still something that I could only see in my dreams. Two hours of shooting in that condition. Timelapse, some other shots for stacking the foreground, and a few shots of the Orion in the end, when the Moon rose, and believe it or not, hid behind the clouds. No moonrise then. Just imagine what a day it could have become! I’m walking on the clouds right now because of this. This is one single shot, edited in Lightroom on iPad (limited filters), and no photoshop to enhance those colours. We have to wait until I get back home to make a stacked version and composite the foreground. And for a time lapse that I am so looking forward to!

Can your Macro lens capture this? How sharp is it? Can you manual focus fast? If so, how fast? Yes, #telephotolens work with a Macro lens.
