Focus when doing Macro?
Not much more to add from all that great advice. But get your self a flash and a diffuser for it. Or better still make yourself a macro flash like i did. Oh and make sure you know the names of the bugs and spiders you post or else Dan will yell at you :lol: :lol:

Focus when doing Macro?
Ok, cheers for all the info. Got my 90mm Vivitar Macro M42 this morning and focusing is a REAL pain on that. Heres one I did earlier.. No cropping at all. Cropped 65% I must admit the colours on the Vivitar lens seem so much better than the Pentax though ..

Bass and the Cat
Out and about yesterday. First image is of this Bass player, around 80 years old, on oxygen the whole time he was performing with a Piano player at a restaurant we had lunch at. The guy is an amazing Bass player. Talk about dedication. (The guy was not posing when I took the shot.) The place was...

Bass and the Cat
From a personal point of view, I think the first shot would have been better if the subject wasn't looking straight at the camera - it's that that gives the impression of the photo being "posed". Nothing wrong with the focus or exposure so I'd say the camera settings were right. With th...

My first "Real" attempt with Macro
nice first tries, but if you really want to get some good macros you'll be needing some more apropriate kit. The kit lens doesn't focus particularly close. You can often get second hand MF macro lenses for relatively small amounts of money, alternatively a set of diopter filters would get you starte...

Guitar
These look nice. :D Might be tempted to try the headstock one looking the other way, back towards the nut. Also on that one, how about peeling off the protective film from the trussrod cover? :wink: But I think they all work well together. Dan

A trip to the Lakes with the Sigma 10-20
Nice shots. Thanks :) I just won Ebay bid on a Sigma 10-20mm last night. What do you think of the lens, it has got some pretty good reviews, however it's nice to get feedback from a user on this forum. Well mine's new (from SRS Microsystems in Watford), so I can't comment on how it goes ove...

Snowdonia today
I like the scenery, they look like tourist brochure shots (no insult intended) Just got back from N ireland and if we can find a cottage are heading to north Wales in a few weeks.

The Aliens Have Landed
I'm surprised you don't get arrested lugging that around :shock: The Nut Weevil was about 8mm :lol: I just hold it to my face and keep repeating " Take me to your leader" and they all back off :lol:

Buttercup Bokeh
Still not absolutely sure that this works, but I do like the colours............ DA* 300 handheld in very windy conditions - f5.60 - difficult to focus on the selected two buttercups - should have taken the tripod with me !

Some photos from Poland
Great B&W photos. Love the focus in #1. I like how each picture has arms spread wide. Is this similarity intentional? Lilly? Over to you!

Some photos from Poland
I take colour out of my pictures alot if I want the viewer to focus on the composition and subject. I loved #38.

Some photos from Poland
Not sure I agree (and am sure Lilly won't!). I'm not sure either, although it is a view I incline more towards, the more I think about it. But this... Colour is pretty, mono is profound. .. is way too much of a generalisation. I was very struck a little while back, reading about composi...

Squatters in our house .....
Fantastic shot, got the main wasps sharply in focus, colours on them are strong, and no flash reflection thats obtrusive. You're certainly getting the hang of it now, and good luck with getting in closer!

Squatters in our house .....
Nooooooooooooooooooo :cry: Dont kill them, just remove the nest if its in the way. They will re-build it elsewhere. You can't take advantage of their beauty by photographing them and then turn around and kill them when you have finished :x Its just not right. Fair enough, tell me how to remov...

Itsy Bits Spider, climbing up the ........
Number 2 and number 4 are the stand-out photos for me here as you've managed to get his eyes in focus on those. Number 2 takes the overall win though due to the more appealing background. Your practice is paying off! :D

I love jumping spiders, they have the mannerisms of a cat. :lol: That is a jumping spider? :shock: Had I known that I would have put the Tamron 28-300 back on. :roll:
