The bokeh does not seem the best in the world but it's suprisingly sharp out of camera.

Perhaps cropping into the Rose so the frame is mostly filled with the inner petals would make it more Flikrable for you, Pete? Look good to me, especially the daisy shots. |

I don't know if it is my monitor, Decca, but the reds in the rose picture appear to be bleeding a little, and some of the detail is getting a bit lost. As I say, might be my monitor

Ah, the reds look over-saturated to you, too? Probably nit just my monitor then. Decca, the petals in the very centre of the rose have reached such a saturation point that they seem to have melded together into a solid red patch. If you have Photoshop you can adjust the saturation of each individual colour, so you may be able to turn that down a notch without losing any surrounding vibrancy? |

Actually, it looks completely different on the iPod. Not too saturated, there. |

I've gone back and checked lightroom settings and it had set to curved strong contrast by default which means mimi was right. Have replaced accordingly. |

| Post subject: | Re: MORE pics what I have taken with my camera |
ok, there is a bug with raw NEF files converted in lightroom and explorer making the colours look fugging awefull. Converting to jpeg with ViewNX and then editing on PS does not make colours go funky. edit: updating to explorer 9 fixed it, but what worries me is that people (especially if you normally use FF) tend not to update so colours will be funky for them still. |

I has a new toy. It's an 8 stop neutral density filter, it basically blocks out 8 stops' worth of light, which means I can shoot long exposure shots in broad daylight...

Been taking quite a few new pics lately, here's three. Of them. The first insect shots I've ever been remotely happy with. A far cry from Zardoz's impressively detailed macro stuff, but I'm pleased at this modest advancement, even if it be sans compound eye japery. I do love the bokeh of this 28-70mm, really really love it, even if it can't do macro despite the optimistic box blurb. There's also a photo of a busker, as they don't tend to twitch about a lot and then fly off out of shot just when you've got it composed.  Clamber  Refuelling  Hayes Busker (Yep, I realise she's centred framed, but when I went with the old two-thirds rule I found it undermined the vibe I wanted from her pensive expression, she looked less alone with the support of the frame's edge by her shoulder.) |

Those bee shots are fantastic, Pete. Great composition on the second one. The green against the purple works excellently. I'm actually growing some of those flowers to attract more bugs.  The buskers are making a nice set of photos, good idea to flesh out into a book project. |

They are great. While I like to think I take full advantage of what nature puts in front of me, you have an eye for artistic composition that I will never master, and I salute you for that. Davpaz too is miles better at that than me. I'm too much the scientist, I think. While I (perhaps unsurprisingly) haven't yet got anywhere with the pics.from.beex project, that collection goes to show that there are a ton of great photographers on this forum, and not enough of them show off their efforts in this thread. |

Took some photos on holiday. They are only with a point-and-press camera, but I at least attempted to get them straight in the frame having read this thread! I woudn;t mind some constructive critiscism, what is good, bad, how they could be improved...?Incidentally, to save on upload time, I opened the pictures in mspaint, and then resaved them, and it makes them (much) smaller. I can't really see any diference between them though, what have I lost with the saving to make it that much smaller (~7Mb to ~1Mb)? Right, FFS, I uploaded them to flickr how do I get them to here? I can't find the share thingy? |

They're a great set of pics, Bobby. Easy improvement for the circular 'window' shot would be to get it dead centre of frame or even crop it square. Love that shiny beetle. Decca, I like the first collie shot. Great how they're all poised for action, very dynamic. |
