thanks Lynne. I was surprised at the results to say that's its by no means a proper macro lens.Hi Adam
reversing a lens is not something I've tried but I must say I'm impressed with the results ...almost perfect focus (I suspect the legs were on a different focal plane.....at least I think that's the expression ! )Wll lit & placed in the frame with plenty of detail in the eye's & the hairs on it's legs
cheers SusieHi Adam .... Smashing little spider there, nicely focused on the head, and lovely colour in the body. I've been doing a fair bit of macro lately and the focus isn't easy....well done with that one.
cheers simonThat Spider is fantastic!
cheers phil, its easy do do, all you need is a reversing ring (about £2 off ebay) set the aperture first then take the lens off and mount it the other way and you can get up to about x3 magnification with the kit lens.Yep, the spider shot is great Adam, focus spot on where it needs it, I have no idea about reversing lenses but you certainly seem to have achieved a good image with the technique.
Well, that's a cracking image Adam, well worth the early start, i just love those colours!
Cheers SusieHi Adam .... A really super image and well worth waiting for.....lovely colour and softness....perfect for the theme.
thanks simon, no this one wasn't took with a filter, there was just enough light for a balanced exposure. I did take a few with a filter about 15 20mins after this when there was more light but liked this one the most in the end.That is superb. ND filter? Or just right due to the time of day?
Cheers AndyDreamy indeed. Lovely warm colours and nice movement in the water, and it looks like several naked bodies in the foreground
Vertical, again some nice light but I'd like to see much closer to the lighthouse.
Cheers.
Thanks very much Paul.Adam - another cracker for vertical. Lovely colours and just the right amount of shadow detail for me on the foreground rocks. I like the backmost layer of hills, too. It works well!
No worries Graham, thanks for the crit. I was a little concerned about the lighthouse being a bit too central when I was shooting but where I was stood was the only opening to walk through from a car park, the rest was a wooden barrier so I couldn't move any further to the left. I did try a few steps through the opening and to the left but then there was no interest for the foreground so it looked empty and I thought this was weaker still.:banghead:Sorry adam but I'm really not liking the composition on the lighthouse one.... The colours and the balance of light through the foreground and the beautifully graduated sky thumbs: for the processing on this), I do like.
Think the lighthouse is too central, and I feel a bit cheated out of the fantastic colour in the sky as you've only given me half the frame of it. I do like the rocks, could you have swung round to the left, or even gone further left to get a lead in of the cliff edge?
Cheers JudiHi Adam,
dream.. beautiful nice warm colours, no crit from me
Vertical...Like Graham says the composition could be better but lovely colours again
Thanks Susie, I might have another look to see if I can improve the compHi Adam, a good choice for the theme, I actually prefer it if I pull it down my screen and block out the rocks...the lighthouse seems to look really solitary when I do that, and it gives it more emphasis, another shot where you have captured a really lovely soft light.
cheers craig, I agreeHi Adam
Wild - great macro shot lovely de
Dreamy - fantastic effect you have achieved there well done
Vertical - on theme , great colours but missing that final punch
thanks AllanHi, great sky and colour bit more light on the lighthouse (no idea how you would achieve that) would have made it i feel, love the colour and light in dreamy too
cheers Lynne, Ye I think I'll revisit this one, see if a lift of the shadows helps.Hi Adam
now that's a sunrise worth getting out of bed for....super shot...no crit just a big
Vertical....given your words about the positioning to get this shot I quite like it......closer would have been good but as you say , no foreground would have let it down . I'd like maybe a touch more light on the lighthouse itself , just lift the shadows selectively maybe ?
Hope your'e having/had a great holiday
