The choice of B&W for processing is spot on for these (IMO), the final shot I like in particular - not sure if you've "de-fished" it but you've made it look so natural
Id agree with that, cracker.

Welcome to the forum, it's an excellent lens, I also use one for my macro stuff.

Hi Neil, this is what is inside the coffee tin, I had 1 left over so I put it to some use.

Hi Neill, no worries man, there is a couple of pics further up the page.
It's a battery powered light. I used a biģ torch battery, the ones with the 2 springs on top.
The hole in the coffee tin was punched with a Philips screwdriver so is around 6 or 7 mm

Hey I really liked that one Gareth. Thanks for sharing these, and I hope that just the act of talking about your situation helps, as does taking the time to just get out and take some photos for a change of scene and an activity.

Whilst we're all in different places, we're all thinking of you and wish you all the best.
Couldn't have said it better myself, 👍👍👍

Just had a quick play but I think I need a better light source as the light is sharp
Dont be afraid to show what you ended up with, might be able to help or offer some suggestions.
