Wow amin,

You really have got the hang of this.

I do agree with RR about the colours though, not sure about a mono conversion, but a slightly darker or stronger colour in the background might have helped the crown to stand out more.

EDIT:- I took so long to type that you posted a second one, much better

This is something that I have never tried before, and as this weekend was a bit wet I thought I would give it a go.

Not really inspired by vases of flowers, I tried to build a coposition out of CD's

First one was ISO 100, F5.6 for 3 secs (18-55 kit lens)

second one almost exactly the same but with a one second exposure ISO 100, F5.6 for 1 secs (18-55 kit lens)

The out of focus background was done in photoshop as an adjustment layer to focus on the the drops on the CD and not the cases.

Does the manipulation in photshop work or is it a poor picture anyway.

C&Cs please

Thanks Dan,

I will give it a go if they are still there this weekend and post the results

Hi Pentaxbabe,

I thought the first one looked ok, kind of like an early morning sunrise shot, second one looks a bit over exposed on the mushroom tops and the third one looks too green to me.

Good composition though

Great Shots as usual amin.

I love number 4, especially the overlap effect of the drops over the crown.

Are you finding the different colour liquids harder or easier that 'plain' water

Great capture on the dragon fly mate, good detail on the wings and great colours.

I find them to be very elusive and flighty over here.

I love the details in the rusty old door and I agree that this would be good as two seperate pics, one featuring the owl and one featuring the the timber.

Both good crops.

I always enjoy seeing other peoples vision of photos they didn't take, I am always impressed by the ability to crop and improve a picture, its not something I have got the hang of too well yet.

PaulM

Good results mate,

I tried this at sydney aquarium and just got rubbish images.

Thanks guy's n girl's

I will have another try with the group this weekend if they are still there!

When I am out and about I use Av (I think thats because its what I was use to with the ME Super).

For macro I always use M.

But I have to confess to using it in full auto as well as it doubles up as the family point and shoot when we are all out together.
