D-FA 100mm (my first uploads)
Well as the title say my first upload here so please give me some good comment so that I can learn :) The first time I use the D-FA 100mm on some close focus subjects. Threw half of the photos away because of the very shallow DOF :oops: No crop btw, it's pitty his right wing isn't fully in the s...

D-FA 100mm (my first uploads)
The first one is good but personally I would drop the exposure a bit so as to darken the background a bit but more importantly the butterfly itself (it may just be my laptop screen but it seems very bright to me). Also, pity you didnt get the whole butterfly in there. The wolf, I would clone out...

D-FA 100mm (my first uploads)
Thank you all for you great comments, I'm really thrilled! I like the way you have got in close to eliminate anything but the subject, especially of the bird. thank you very much but there was some croping though only the butterfly and the flower arent cropped, the wolf was heavily cropped and ...

D-FA 100mm (my first uploads)
Stefan These shots are stunning. Make me want to start seriously considering the 100mm macro. :). I browsed your gallery on the website and some fantastic stunning pics there. I liked quite a few, and just glancing through the red butterfly was absolutely wonderful. Quite a nice gallery there,...

my first venture outside the kit lens
After never taking off the kit lens, I bought a Sigma 70-300 DL macro and a Quantaray 28-80 from a friend who switched to Nikon. (I also bought a snake from him, but that's another picture at another time) Been a bit intimidated by the long zoom, so I took it to a Christmas parade a few weeks ...

First HDR attempts
HDR = High Dynamic Range. One takes a set of photographs at different exposures (e.g. at recommended exposure, +1 stop and -1 stop) and then uses a specialized piece of software to firstly map the image as a 48bit image, then to "tone map" it back to a 16/8 bit image. It is a way of dealing with s...

Tree reflection in ice
Hi, I'm relatively new here, just thought I'd see what you guys thought of this: I'd just been out on a shoot around my local area (southern UK), had packed all my stuff away only to notice this effect as I was stepping into the car. Grabbed all my kit back out, manually focused on t...

Mijn Kleine Broertje
I used to be a purist, but I'm ok now. I'd 'Photoshop' my Granny for € 0.001 !!! I used to dodge, burn, crop, tone, and 'spot' my B&W prints back in the 70's, now I use Photoshop for today's prints. Anyone that takes pictures with todays DSLR's and doesn't use some sort of 'Photoshop' softw...

My first 'night pictures'
You really need a remote for this kind of photography if you are using bulb setting because holding it down can induce some movement, which seems evident here to me. Your exposures are not that long though that you need to use the B setting, you do not say which camera you have but at 17 seconds ma...

Encouraged by Stefan, here is a shot
Bad habits die hard I suppose, :D even in kids. Four years down the road still being cheeky with the same eye. And what a coincidence this one was captured over his breakfast too but he was more aware of the K20D in my hands. This was taken with my 50mm F1.4 at f2.4, 1/60" ISO 200, Focus mode AF...

Crazy Trees
Just going through some images as its horrible & murky outside. Thought I'd share this one. Some very scary looking trees I captured a few weeks ago. I'm planning to go back at dusk armed with an ND filter, Flash & some coloured gels.
