Like.

Get a macro lens! You have got the other basics covered...

That looks like a model. Is it real?

Thanks. The sun was in just the wrong place so I tried it in b&w and put in a hint of green to suggest what it's like in full colour. The tree is obligingly photogenic.

That's what I was thinking

Yes it is real, photo has miniature effect applied though, which blurs top and bottom of image to make it look like the subject is smaller than it is.

No offence, but that looks to me like technology run amok. Why would you want to make a real scene look like a model...because it does.

Its just an effect that you can do either in camera or in editing afterwards. I agree with you swee'pea, normally it's not my cup of tea either, although in that particular photo I think it looks quite good. It's like a lot of these things, its personal taste. Personally, I'm not normally a fan of spot colour, HDR, or long exposure water scenes, but that's just my taste.

Winter cometh and with it the lack of light. You seem to have the standard focal lengths covered, what I'd miss is something fast. The 20mm f1.7 maybe, or the bargain 14mm 2.5. All depends what you like though, of my 4 lenses I keep as many taken with the 20 as with the other three put together.

Hadn't thought about it from that perspective. Still trying to get my head around the numbers in photography - my brain prefers words
