Little burtie trying to fly lol, first little play with lightroom,i just need a new camera,which comes friday

Love this shot - the trees are so "dreamy" for want of a better word. it's like they're not really there.

Nice photo burtie! I'm no guru or anything, but i think that it would be been a great photo if you'd got your point of view a little lower. Would have been able to see the little'uns face!

[Bobster]

indeed, always try and match or get slightly lower than your subjects height, especially with kids (depending on the situation this might change)

Bobster....that's an incredible eye shot, but then I started looking at the eyelashes and the edge and could only think of The Fly....

Tamron 28-75 with 50 reversed

That is the most incredible image makes me think of pure energy.

Forgive my ignorance, what do you mean 'with 50 reversed'?

[Bobster]

would have been better if i had some extension tubes, and better light..

this is what it looks like syd

[Fidley]

I also have a reversal ring, thanks for reminding me about it bobster!! I've had a day inside lookin for things to get close up to.

[Ruggerbugger]

wow, can I get anywhere close to that with my S9600?

[Bobster]

i believe you can get a macro ring for the 9600..

one from a gig 2nite

Some nice photos guys! I might have a little wander tomorrow and see what I can find. I still only have a kit lens for my D40 - 18-55mm - Thinking of getting a 55-200VR soon.

not posted in here before - just lurked

canon 400d - 50mm f1.8 - 1/90s f1.8 iso200

I tried the reversed 50 mm thing, but it didnt work so well, the image was in a circle... and it was really hard to hold the 50mm in place

[Bobster]

ok, you need both lenses wide open (2.8) and idealy you need to have the 2nd lens as a mid range zoom

the way you get the 50 wide open is to put it on the body and hold the DoF button, then while still holding the button take the lens off

you can of course, just use the 50 on its own reversed against the body..

and it was really hard to hold the 50mm in place

yes it is isn't it
