That picture is amazing. The figure is to the right of center. Below center and your eye just follows to the left. The light and dark spots are great. I can't get over how you did that lol. 1 day I should be able to do them as good. It's stunning.


Just like to agree with Tuffty about that shot in particular Chief Elf.

Many successful photographs, paintings and illustrations follow the classic formula of the
'Golden Ratio'
. The main object of the study is 'off centre' and there are other aspects in the study that act on the eye to 'lead in' (or out) to or from the main object.
Very difficult describe but it is a very well known natural phenomena that artists have exploited for hundreds of years. Look it up and always try to use in your shots and studies.

These have hatched now. They are baby ladybirds. Been watching then and keeping them safe and now they have hatched. I'll keep an eye on them for a few days and move them to plants if they need it. Nice to see them. Never seen them in my garden before.

It's not a crisp as I would like but it will do. :P

It's a dandylion.

I'm really struggling with macro pictures. It's harder then it looks. That picture was 1 of about 20 that turned out ok. Rest were deleted lol.

I need to start using my tripods and get some better shots. Hand held is just not working for me. Need more practice.

I been thinking about buying macro lens next, only took some bad quality pictures with reverse lens technique before. And I'd really love to own some kind of film camera, but this hobby is kinda out of my budget. Anyway, here's some quite recent shots.

Macro can be very difficult hand held. A tripod helps a great deal, can even be one of those mini tabletop tripods. A remote trigger will help stop camera shake when you take the shot.
If you can afford a 'ring flash' it means your shot will be frozen still by the flash. Many pro macro shots use this method.

Top I've been looking at ring flash's but my camera is old. I say old Pentax K-r. The lenses are even older from my old Pentax P30t.

I just bought a digital camera that could use all my bits and bobs.

I have a remote for it and a table top tripod. So see what I can do with the ring flash.

I have a dedicated flash with defuser and all sorts of bits but not tried it with this camera.
