Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[rawpaw18]

Rooz,
I like the number two shot,
as for the third, my initial impression is the eyes get lost since they are white also.

Caveat: You ever had one of the photos that you initially thought iffy, but after a little time it has become one of your favorites?

[K1W1]

heres a couple of a 4-5mm praying mantis. quite difficult to shoot this guy, (alive !!), very small and quite fast.

Yeah, yeah we know.
Just try to catch two different coloured ones in a symmetrical pattern on the edge of your windshield whilst travelling at 100kph+

I'll give you credit for them though. Not bad for an amateur.

yes, thats a good point about the eyes. not sure if it will end up a fave of mine, i'm not totally convinced on it but the different lighting does appeal to me for some obscure reason.

love #2 rooz, brilliant.

Love no 2 Rooz, good exposure to avoid the nuclear red look and wonderful pose and focus.

[Turo]

Turo, both versions are great. My mate almost tried to buy that image (old version) from you when he set up his own business for his logo etc.

Whoa, I'm flattered that he even considered good enough to purchase!

Haven't posted or taken many images lately due to exams. Here's one from last week. SB600 bounced from overhead. 50mm f/1.8. EXIF data: 1/500, f/2.8, ISO 200

Nice job! Beautiful soft light!

heres a couple of a 4-5mm praying mantis. quite difficult to shoot this guy, (alive !!), very small and quite fast. full set of tubes used, R1 and 105VR.

Amazing as always! I love the second and last ones, they look great!

Seriously, I try to post my photos directly but I still can't. I type it as below, I even tried using the "insert photo" button but it's still not working, I still just get a red X. So I'm sorry about the thumbnails, I know how irritating they can be..

EDIT: I know the horizon in the second one isn't straight, noticed it after I posted it. Sorry.

[Fiasco]

Fiasco that talent's just not fair you can take a portrait with a fisheye and still get a great image. Nice job and another interesting location.

Thanks Dread Pirate!!
