Well after all the great feedback from my last critique posting (thanks very much everyone) I thought I'd give it another go
This was taken once again with the Canon 350D and the Tamron 28-75, but this time at Ada Cole Rescue Stables in Essex http://www.adacole.co.uk/
Since the g/f is a horse nut we (read: she) decided for us to take a drive out there one sunny Sunday afternoon.
While we were walking back to the car this little fella buzzed round our heads for a while before landing on some wire fencing beside us. I quickly jumped into stealth mode ( quite amuzing if you could see the size of me ) and slowly crept up on him, he let me get pretty close before flying off and the following pic was the result. I probably could've done with a bit more depth of field (I think I was at f/2.8) here, but at least the result is getting some nice bokeh :thumb:
I do like close up/macro photography so a set of tubes or a full macro lens is on the cards at some stage but I'm very happy with what I came up with here considering the Tamron is far from a 1:1 macro lens... let me know what you think!.
p.s. I'm still not sure about the border, it was one of the free preset one's on the Digital Photo Mag cover disc so I thought I'd try it. It's a nice effect but I'm not sure it fits in with the style of pic here, comments?
