Re: Today in pictures

I`ve seen pics using that technique, although I didn`t know you needed an adapter, I thought you just held it there.

Re: Today in pictures

The pair of adapters cost about twelve quids, there is no glass in them.
You need the pair because one of them had a catch to operate the aperture otherwise you need to hold it open with a match stick or rubber band
It manual focus only and you can change the shutter speed from the camera.
If you decide on one make sure you specify which camera you use and make sure you get a thread to fit the lens .

There is always a learning curve with a new technique, and learning the ways of the camera, but don't be put off by the first few mistakes.

The world of macro brings with it a new set of challenges, the depth of field and focus being one of the first problems to master. But when you have the technique off pat you will then have to master lying down in the wet, dirty grass to get the best shots.

Re: Today in pictures

Or in my case Dave, get a plant in a pot and take photos of it on the kitchen table, no damp gusset that way.
I have a periscope like device which clips over the view finder and is angled upwards.
You can keep the camera low and horizontal while you look down the attachment which is about four inches long above the camera.
I posted some photos a while back at a Morgan car rally and managed some cracking photos looking up at cars from low down.

Re: Today in pictures

I had an 'interesting' day, and so I just had to post a few more snowy photos. We're getting a major rain storm tonight, and with all the snow both on our roof, and our back patio, we worried about possible flooding and damage due to ice dams. So Hubby and I started shovelling shortly after dawn - not the roof, as we don't plan on an early demise! Then the condominium board sent workers to shovel off the roof of our unit. We needn't have bothered killing ourselves this morning - there's as much snow back there as ever!

1. Dawn dawneth.
2. There's patio furniture and a BBQ under there somewhere.
3. We took lots of breaks.
4. A nice path to the bird feeder, and a place for the rain and melted snow to depart (hopefully).
5. I took these garden face sculptures down off the fence and discovered one had a little nest built into the back! The white stuff is fuzzy fluff of some kind, not snow.
6. Some pretty spectacular icicles - taken last week at my artisans' guild.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, a day when it was sunny one minute and storm clouds the next.

1. It sort of spells out the day, mostly dark with a bright spot now and again.
2. Were gona need a bigger boat.
3. Why are sunny bits always over there.
4. I've taken this bent tree before, but I am drawn to it.
5. A dark bit, a sunny bit, and a colourful bit.
6. Just after a shower.
7. Its a harsh environment.
8. Another hailstone shower.
9. There are a few lone trees around here.
10. Time to scarper before the next shower.

Yes, it's been an unusual winter for us in this part of Canada. The amount of snow has been the same as in recent years, but there has been no melting to speak of. With the prolonged cold temps. the stuff just kept accumulating! It's normal for the Ottawa area, where I have family, but around here it's really starting to grind us down. A neighbour said yesterday that the crocuses would be growing, but underneath the snow! We'll never get to see them. Ah well, I'm holding out hope for tulips.

Really great shots. The monochrome effect in number one is perfect with the bright red umbrella. I can never get enough of the 'bent' tree! And number with the rainbow is a stunner

Re: Today in pictures

On some of them it looks like you have the same problem I used to have, and one of the main reasons I changed cameras, that is, auto focus is rubbish, that`s not a dig at your camera, just auto focus in general. Saying that, the marbles look good. Don`t think the chicken needed to be in macro mode myself, did you use the flash on the others? Is your ISO set to auto? if not, try setting it to that.

I know it tends to focus on the background rather than the actual subject.
Yeah everything's in auto maybe if I mess about in manual mode it will focus correctly(it still looks like my cams got a cataract) ....

...I agree about the chicken too

Re: Today in pictures

Asked about the ISO and flash because it seems to be struggling for light on some of them.
