Now this one I am very, very happy with for a number of reasons - one of which is it was handheld. I'm going to have to start learning the names of insects - I cant have 793682 "unknown insect.jpg" files

righto @Blacktop is my new coach :)

My admiration for the great macro shooters just keeps going up. But I am determined to get as close to you guys as I can on this. This one taken this morning - a fly sitting on a wheelie (rubbish) bin. The original bright yellow made it look like I had used a false background so I toned the...

My admiration for the great macro shooters just keeps going up. But I am determined to get as close to you guys as I can on this. This one taken this morning - a fly sitting on a wheelie (rubbish) bin. The bright yellow almost makes it look like I have used a false background but this is the...

Had a bit of fun at the cathedral tonight. The main entrance was very bright so this is two photos combined to even out the exposure. I used two off-camera flashes to light up the stairs leading to the front door. I should probably have straightened it but only thought about that afterward...

I am thinking - and that is financially dangerous! My current collection of lenses: Nikkor 35mm f1.8G Tamron SP AF 90mm f2.8 Di Macro 1:1 Nikkor AF-S 18-105mm 3.5-5.6G ED Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm 4.5-5.6G ED I am thinking of replacing the latter two with: Nikon 50mm f1.8D Tamron 70-200 f2.8...

How good is this lens? I am shooting a D7100 with built in focus motor but presumably it won't focus on this and manual focus is the only option. its the old telescopic (push pull) action type.

here is another model I shot recently. She was very thin and curveless plus she never smiled. It was hard work.

Righto I said I wanted to improve my macro during August and I thought I would get a jump start. Made myself a little diffuser yesterday and took it out for a few shots a couple of minutes ago. This is the first one off the production line. He was real small and I was lucky to even spot him.

Gotta brag a bit. Last night I was awarded the JW Welch floating trophy (it doesn't float though - I tried it) for the best floral image for the year at my local photography club. What a surprise that was as I only entered to keep the numbers up - never thinking my photo would win. After all...

A whole long post disappeared so now all you get is the photo - if it loads!

The difference is minimal. Thanks for posting @480sparky

I did my first model shoot today (other than my flatmate) and had a blast. She was a pretty young thing but was hard to shoot for a number of reasons - other than me being nervous as hell about messing it up. 1. She had lovely long blonde hair but it was flat - absolutely lifeless. 2. By her own...

Using a d7100 and wanting to shoot portraits ... I have a 35mm prime and my 90mm macro - should I also get a 50mm? If so which one of the two? And then of course I also want a wide angle - probably more pressing than the above - this one for potential real estate photography and milky way stuff.

All showered out ...

Does anyone know if this is any good? I have been offered it for free - well of course there is no such thing as free. Free is the bait that hides the hook. Will I need extra RAM for example? Does it operate smoothly with LR and PSCC? Have to squeeze the trigger soon for the "free"

Here's probably the best one I took with it. This has been processed and cropped

A trip to YouTube and the barber and Mowgli looks fuller and brighter. I hope mum likes it.

Hi guys/gals. Not sure if you are aware but Scott has had a bad accident and was apparently lucky to survive. I have no details other than he is in hospital. Let's all let him know we are thinking of him.
