Wow..... inspiring! what a first post. What camera etc do you have and any tips on technique would be very welcome. Looking forward to future postings.
thanks for the kind words!
most all of these shots have been taken with a fuji finepix s602 zoom. the macro features are incredible, and most images barely need to be manipulated in photoshop. there are a few i'll pop in here that i've taken with my trusty 'ole nikon 4004 that i gave away some time ago.
i bought the fuji...(carry the one...plus two...) like May of '03. it was my second digital ever purchased. needless to say, once i went digital, i never went back to traditional.
as far as tips...well, i suppose the more you play with the manual settings of your camera and the more familiar you become with the features; the better you images start coming out.
that's the number one thing i love about DP...you can instantly see your work, and progress from there. if the f stop was wrong...guess what, one or two clicks of the dial, and you've got it.
the only other tip would be to use a tri-pod when ever you can....especially for macros.
Great shots Phistio ! I'd like particularly the frog.
The level is more and more higher here ;)
