hey guys just been playing around with macro,
please tell me if its good or bad.

thanks guys

sorry man, it's all out of focus, and too blurry to see detail. you've gotta be careful with the focal point the camera picks. set the centre point to focus, and ensure it locks onto the flower. Try focusing on a high contrast edge of a petal. shooting at 1/20th can make it difficult to get a sharp image too. Colours need some vibrance too.

Hi guys, haven't posted in here before but always reading through it.

Been shooting for several months.....here's a few photos i've taken recently.

Took this a few weeks ago at my big sister's wedding. Really wish I took the time to center the subject properly but still like the windows behind.

Thoughts?? I'm keen for some criticism....

Great shot...horizon needs straightening. Clone out the buoy -- it's a bit distracting. Curves would really highlight that beautiful colour under the lip.

Went into DD today to buy either a 35mm f2 or 28mm f1.8. Neither where in stock.

I too went in to DD today, got myself a nice tripod

This one looks crocked as well. The top of thewindows dont line up and the Xmas tree looks like it's leaning over.

Your surfing shot looks wicked.

Both of those shots look incredible Ruckus Lord. Good work!

D-rew, the first looks a touch out of focus to me, which is a pity. The bars air is bangin', though.

Testing the 17-40

Really? Hm, I don't know, hey. I'm not managing to see this...anyone else?

Thanks, Lewis! I was stoked on the DOF i got on the first shot, it was the shot i was most proud of.

Aw fanks olly.


Those shirts are wicked!!!

Mmm, maybe not, probably just my eyes/monitor. Nice pic regardless!

Was playing with some B&W shots today and tried to use a complete B&W setting, something that suits it. This is the best I got.

Natural light BTW. Can't afford flashes.\

I like it, Tom. Simple and effective, I think it works

I suggest everyone take a look at this guys website: http://www.jonathanbarkat.com/.

I, personally, was blown away by his lighting and just general images. Amazing stuff.
