Out with the dfa 24-70mm
A few standard pp
And a few pushed a tad far maybe.
2nd set were edited for a ph orientated platform. Not for fullscreen pc use 🤔🤔🤔

Final glow is lovely, cracking tones, 👍👍👍👍

I recently bought a dfa 24-70mm, it had a damaged front element and was priced accordingly.
Managed to get out to try it out yesterday

Uploaded from ph, so apologies for IQ if its poor.

Cheers for all the advice and tips guys. I'll definitely be taking some on board.

I have never given a talk to a camera club before. But as station officer (manager) in our fire station, I do have to plan lessons and talks in station, and to other stations,
I will work up a guide for myself on what to cover, and what is realistically achievable within the time frame.
I am hoping it will be a little less formal than the stuff I'm used to doing 😁
I'm comfortable talking about what I know. And dont mind admitting what I dont.
I think its showing my images that's more daunting, it feels a bit like oh I took this its great.
I know that's not what it is, but not having done it before, it kind of feels like it.
I may get some jokes and disaster stories ready 🤪🤪🤪

A more natural looking one from yesterday

Excellent shots
2nd one for me.
I like that straight down the barrel type of shot.
👏👏👏👏

Do you mean something like this Steve ???

3rd one is some kind of daddy long legs, what we call them anyway, hard to get a decent shot as their legs are always in the way. Lots of joints and angles. Weird bloody yolks,
Cheers guys.

Around this time last year. A photography club contacted me through f/b to do a bit of a show and tell, + practical outside shooting.
Family circumstances at the time meant that had to be called off.
But they've been in touch again, a d I'm going to do it in 2 weeks 😱😱😱

I'm looking forward to doing it even though I've never been at any kind of photography club meet.

Not getting into the garden as much as I'd like, but managed to get in a few shots yesterday,
Which version of the fly works best for you ?
