The Photography Thread

[BigonaBianchi]

A mate of mine re did the photoshopping on this for me to bring out the sky better as suggested on here. It's a combination of the origional shot for the forground (because dog was moving) and the hdr shot taken at same moment for the sky.
I'm happier with it now

It's an improvement, but I have to say I prefer natural photography - an accurate representation of how it was. I'm the same with art.

This is my 1st attempt at taking close-up pictures (taken with a Nikon D3200)
The 1st is a raindrop on the end of a leaf
Number 2 and 3 are just close ups of a flower in the garden

very nice.

water drops are hard to get right and i often resort to manual focus as the auto catches on the droplet, rather than the reflection in it (if that makes sense)

crocii (?) are good for photos - i have spent ages recently trying to get good shots of some. a couple of years ago i took one with a 50mm 1:4, and extension tubes. the depth of field was non-existant, but i managed to get the tip of the orange bit in focus and everything else was just blurred out. that tends to be my technique for a crocus photo though

not the photo i mentioned, but using a 2:8 aperture...

A roundabout near me was the locus to focus on this crocus hocus pocus

Someone looks happy!

My guess is that @Doseone one wasn't smiling when his gorgeous pal landed...

LOL she's a Spaniel, so happy is the only emotion they have!

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how I didn't end up with a faceful of muddy Spaniel, but she did miss me - just.

I had a liver and white springer as a teen, and he used to go everywhere with me
