Indoors - no flash

Yes photography can indeed be fun. Here is this lovely lass' other eye.

Much more fun doing this type of macro ... Not sure why ;)

I don't seem to have taken a flower shot for ages.

The spiders are quite pretty in a weird kind of way. I am pretty convinced they are territorial too and don't move around much. I can go to this one bush and almost always find three individuals in the same three spots.

back to my model ...

Scott Murray and @Ironwood I would love to know how you guys manage to get so much DoF on your macros. If I get anything sharp (as in this image) then everything else is bokeh ... Would extension tubes help? While you consider whether or not to divulge your secrets - lunch is served.

Here is another (the original) version of the leaf but I think the tight crop is more appropriate.

LOL you weren't threatened in any way were you? We could report @Blacktop to admin. Oh wait I think he might be admin! :)

I need your help folks - please! I have to enter 3 photos in my local club competition and can't decide which three to enter out of the following 11 shots. Could I ask you to help me decide? The criteria is pretty broad - "Close-up" Now close-up is one thing but the photo still needs to be...

I think I nailed one.

Been walking around with the macro lens for most of thismonth. Saw these little flowers this afternoon and thought "why not?" Makes a change from insects.

Why are you turning the focus ring? Are you not using AF-C as @RocketCowboy suggested. With BBF simply focus on the skater and follow him with BBF depresses - shoot away, the camera should remain locked on the subject as he moves

A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it. A passer-by remarked, "That guy must have been a very avid fisherman." "Oh, he still is," remarked one of the mourners. As a matter of fact, he's headed off...

I always thought this would happen ... I have kept all my photos taken over the past two years either in Elements or LR/PS on my macintosh hard drive. My mac is rebelling and I now only have 426 Mbs of my total 499 GBs free. Photos constitute 342 GBs of storage used!! What do I do? Can I...

That is not to say I am unwell ... I am sick of photography for the day and sick of macro for a an even longer time. No matter what I try I get the same results which are not quite what I wanted. We shall see what tomorrow brings but for now I think it is time to go buy a bottle of wine for a...

August has been Macro month and boy has it been frustrating. I really do take my lens off to those who are good at this - you know who you are ... I caught this little guy on my lunch break - seems he was on his too. I took a lot of shots of him but cannot quite get them as sharp as I would...

or any other camera for that matter ... Am I fine-tuning the lens to match the camera or am I fine-tuning the camera to match a lens? The reason I ask is if I decide to sell a "tuned" lens should I reset it to "0" or does it make no difference on the next body that it will be used on?
