Photo-a-day

Spotted this fella today behind the house, better than a shot I got yesterday (was overcast and horrible).

Great picture.

Wonder what that little chap was doing in a tree though? (other than admiring the view, of course.....)

Not posted on here for a while, here's a few that I've only just got around to processing:

I'm sure we've seen #2 and 3 before

It's a beautiful day here, but I annoyingly left the camera in jpeg only mode

[brammers]

Nah, slightly different. #2 is now replete with huge dust spots, while #3 is a pano of the same scene as you've seen before - all new square format!

I got myself a Canon 100mm Macro. What do you think?

Lovely

I'm thinking of getting a macro lens when I have the money, as I seem to shoot mostly close-up stuff and portraits.

[harsh mode] While it's a technically good pic, and certainly sharp, the focus on the leaf isn't enough. It needs something to draw the eye. A leaf just isn't interesting enough. It's just a focus point with a lot of depth of field. A good technical tryout, as you seem to be attempting, but not much of a long-term keeper... introduce a Ladybird or something and you've got a stunner though![/harsh mode]

IBM that is awesome, gotta grab me one of those in the future (soon I hope).

[Bobster]

nothing like wather thin DoF

Monkey+HSK grab urself some extension tubes

[HSK]

Yup Bob, you've reminded me.

I would really like some kenko tubes, if I can find the (newer) ones that work with both EF and EF-S.

I messed around with reversing rings - got some nice shots, but it's too fiddly and impractical - the light fall off was immense. So either tubes or a lens now.
