....feedback on these shots ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Like a lot, I've been having a dabble at a bit of macro of late and trying to take it a little more serious.
Now my problem being, when it comes to bird photography, I'm me own worse critique. I know what my equipment is capable of, what I'm looking for in pose, comp, bg, ect and most of the time, if i don't get it right, it goes in the 'record shot file'
These were shot using a D7200, sigma 105 and Nissin flash ring, all hand held.
I usually try keep shutter speed to 1/160th, aperture to f20 ish and ISO under 200. I have the flash set to minus 1 or 2 thirds of a stop. Hit rate isn't high, 1 in 20/25 maybe......... makes photographing Razorbills in flight seem easy!![Laugh :LOL: :LOL:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.tp/lol.gif)
I know the back grounds/ environment settings could be improved on a couple, but what about IQ?, could/should it be better for the gear used or acceptable? Most were shot around minimum focus distance but still heavy crops on the spiders.
Any advice you think may help me improve would be much appreciated, thanks
Think I have them ID'ed right but happy to be corrected![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
