f2.8 Weekend
The last shot and the bee shot do it for me. The bee shot because the detail and quality of the shot is fantastic. The last shot because it has a wonderful dreamy aspect to it, and I personally love these kinds of images where the subject being photohraphed isn't the main focus of the shot but more ...

Neil, An f stop wider than f9.5 (as indicated by Photome) used for the first of your images here, would give you much more control over your out-of-focus areas. The lens focal length reported was 55mm - even if this was the kit zoom, you've got ample scope to open up more to achieve this. :)

I like the first one. It has a forboding air to it, I feel. Although the focus is on the dandilion head, my eye is drawn into the back of the photo...wondering what is there.

Thanks for the great comments, I really appreciate it. :D Peter, the dark in the background is a pathway in shadow from the surrounding trees. It was about mid-afternoon, around 3pm, so the light was pretty good, but with the dandelion being so white, and the primary focus of the image, all of th...

Design Classic.
In number 1 the crop feels much too tight, numbers 4 and 5 have those large blown out areas, and 2 is okay but I feel the focus should have been on the logo, and the part circle bottom right and slight tilt are a bit distracting. Number 3 is by far the best in my opinion. A good shot, well expos...

Cranefly ... plus 4 shot focus stack
Nice to see them compared next to each other. I never realised (but should have) that it would affect the bokeh like that. It's almost like some kind of mirror lens :) Was it difficult to get the 4 shots? Do they have to be perfectly evenly spaced apart (in terms of the focal plane)?

Cranefly ... plus 4 shot focus stack
Was it difficult to get the 4 shots? Do they have to be perfectly evenly spaced apart (in terms of the focal plane)? Not really difficult as long as you keep to the same magnification throughout (1:1 in this case) then just move the camera to bring certain parts of the body into focus while keeping ...

Very interesting. I'm a bit of a num nut here for asking, but what is CZM? Is it this: http://hadleyweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/CZM/News.htm

Wonderful job as usual, Mike. How did you manage to keep it in the same spot to manage four shots, including three refocusings? Hypnosis?

Thanks. How did you manage to keep it in the same spot to manage four shots, including three refocusings? Hypnosis? Crane flys seem quite happy to sit and let you take as many snaps as you like :shock:

Focus is spot on there, love the green tones, maybe darken the background a tad?

Not really as I wouldn't have been attracted to it. As Tim remarked the bud below the main head is an issue, to him it's good to me it's bad. I think I would have had the bud in bottom right corner and then kept the same size with lots of dead space on the left. I don't know what aperture you use...

A fe from the garden
Three great shots - I like Nos 1 and 2 best - probably 2 edging it. Like the sharp flower, out of focus leaf and the black background - great stuff Regards

Atherton Parish Church 4th June 2010
Only just back from this shoot, but here's an image of one of the rooms in the church tower. This used to be the vestry but is now an Artist's studio. Fantastically interesting building.

some pictures when i went to belfast...
I like the first and the last. If the lens is manual focus, did you have any corrective eyepiece on the viewfinder? The focusing looks spot on to me.

Breaking out
This was going to be a series as the bud opened, turned into a flower and then went to seed, but these poppies do it all so quickly, it flowered overnight and then had gone to seed by the time I got back from work! Hey ho.....
