cat Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I ruddy love it when the weather starts to warm up - finally have an opportunity to play with my macro lens! Can't decide which of these I prefer, which I guess is a good thing as at one time only one would be in focus!!!, would welcome feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 23, 2007 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2007 Those are great Macro's cat, everyting is spot on in them. You should try and get them published in a magazine (which isnt as hard as people think - I've done it a few times) The bottom two are the better ones to my eye, the third being my particular favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drstupid Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Yeah, great shots. I prefer the first one for its composition and contrasting background... but each to their own. The last one is very different to the other three, so don't discount this one. It works in its own way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted March 23, 2007 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2007 I like the third one to my untrained eye. The way the spots on the leaf pick up the colour of the eye and the comparison it allows with the the colour of the leaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Thank you guys. I was torn with the first one because I'm amateur enough to make mistakes like having the lens not zoomed out far enough and that shadow at the top looked worryingly like vignetting!! ( It isn't - but it looks like it! ) I think the third is probably my favourite.... anyway finished taking these, stood up and promptly fell over!!! Anyone else do that? I forget the time, sit waiting for the right light and end up with a dead leg!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Indeed it was! Another from me... Bought the kids a Butterfly Garden for Chrimbo and our caterpillars have just cocooned. Quick pic before I transferred him into the net where he can safely emerge. Will then set him, and his siblings, free in our garden. totally fascinating process and none of the trauma we had with our ant works ( they dug a solitary tunnel and then proceeded to die en masse in it... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 26, 2007 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2007 I wish I could get the ants under my patio to do the same trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I find boiling water rather effective for that particular problem... but then you have to deal with the emotional trauma of watching the survivors bringing up body parts for the next 24 hours.....
