    Would love some advice

    Hi guys, I hope I'm doing this right. I've very recently gone self employed as a Nail Technician, and would like to upgrade my photography. I have attached a photograph and wonder if anyone here has any idea "how" this was taken; camera/lighting/editing/other. I notice the reflection of what...

    Hey

    First post guys, be gentle :) I recently received a generous gift of a pristine Nikon D7000 with an additional Nikon 50mm lens (AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1:8 G), and a MacBook Pro running Adobe CC. We were also given a great flash and tripod too. You see, as an upshot of a family crisis, my...

    Dew soaked bugs?

    I see a lot of Macro pictures on insects covered in dew - the cynic inside me thinks this is a by product of using low temperatures to slow down the subject rather than all the images being taken at dawn. I strive to only take pics of living bugs in the natural habitat as it increases the...

    Snail - Close up filter

    Hi All I am starting to consider being more active in my close up / macro photography and have recently purchased some very cheap filters from ebay which I can attach to my Nikon 50mm Lens. I know its not true 1:1 macro however its one way I can experiment to see if I like it before purchasing...

    New user, new to macro. Have some eye shots!

    Hi guys, New user here. I just picked up a Sigma 105mm 2.8 EX DG macro for my Canon 6D cheap on ebay. Got it for £65 because it was 'broken' as the auto-focus wasn't functioning. What ever will I do with it, perhaps a paperweight. I bought it for shooting mini critters but have only got around...

    Beginner Focusing Problems

    Hello, I am a beginner and I really love photographing jewellery but I am having problems with blurring and I am wondering if some one can help me. If I photograph a brooch, for example, I focus in on it and shoot and everything is great. It comes out nice and clear. But if I photograph a...

    Beginner macro safari!

    If you havent seen my other posts then I'll explain; I'm new to photography and I've got very 'consumer level' equipment. I got an old nikon d80 and a random lens off ebay for a reasonable price. I really fancied learning how to get super close up photography. I've watched about 8 hours of...
