Lepperfish

Thanks Miss_petepie!! Here is one for you from tonight Sidd. 5D2 + EF 400 f/5.6L + 1.x TC II..... F/8 - ISO400 - 1/400

Just look around for a proffesional lab that does digital prints. You will find one easy enough.

Yup looks sharp as.... Is this a 100% crop?

Cheers man. I was glad I had a go at it, I'm more then happy with the results. Stoked actually. The 100mm macro is a sick lens, and cheapish as well for what you get... I have kenko extension tubes as well but I don't think I need to get closer. I'm prob gunna have another sesh later if I'm not to intoxicated. If I get any good ones i'll post em up..

Few more splashes... HDR of the above

You woulda been welcome to come have a play around on mine champ...

Thanks, I had been thinking about it for ages before Sidd posted up, Just had to get motivated... I did it hella ghetto stylez.. But like Sidd said, after having a crack at it and knowing what you need to improve the next time is good.. I just got like a shitty baking dish, this is where I went bung, it was a white one. Filled it up pretty high with water then got a glad sealable bag and filled it up with water and got some pegs and clipped it to a cupboard handle. Then I put a flash on a big can of milo and angled it a brown piece of cardboard (only thing I had lying around) behind the back dish. Then put camera on tripod with 100mm macro lens and manual and auto focused for some shots and tried hand holding it aswell. I shot some in AWB and Tungsten to get the blue effect... Hmm, thats about it...

Since no one is posting, here are some water drops pics I did this arvo. First attempt..

haha...

Hardcore processing skillz ftw!!

Yeah looks a bit blown here as well..

It is illegal to own or sell these turtles without a Basic Reptile Licence (R1) No animal may be transferred from one keeper to another without appropriate licensing. This is the law, and a mandate from the National Parks and Wildlife Service.

Thanks FSTS13 I have the 70-200 2.8IS and yeah Sidd the IS is noisy, but it really doesn't bother me at all... Sweet water drops Sidd, how did you do it?

2.8 or f/4 ?

Nah man, you just spray the windex at the bottom mid section of the glass then use newspaper and wipe of all the water and salt marks.. I'm keeping blue moba frontosa in my 4x2x2 and i have a colony of L134 catfish in a 3ft tank. Here are some other fish I have kept in the past.

You need to clean that glass man!! Windex on the outside and a paint scraper on the inside to take of the stubborn algae.. Also what filter you using as you have a 4x2x2, (same tank as me) cause there are heaps of particles floating in the water.

Nice shots, good panning and stuff. Thanks for sharing!!

If you can write of on your dads business why not get a 1Ds MkIII and make us all jealous???

I would also suggest a 40D over the 50D !!! So much better value for the cash....... Think you can get 40D now for around 1k..

Yeah AEB, The 5D2 only brackets 3 photos though

Cheers man... Well tonight is the first time ever I've tried making HDR's.. I went out today and shot some pics, 5 different exposures for each, realized when I got home I didn't keep the tripod so still between shots, lol.. But the above shot is one image, a RAW Image that I under exposed in CS4 -2, -1, 1, +1, +2 and then put the jpgs into photomatix.. I tried some others with CS4 that I shot today but didn't have any success really. I have a whole heap of learning to do on this.

Here is a HDR I made from a single image.. This is like the first one I have done thats turned out any good I reckon, only been trying since tonight..

Some good stuff on your FlickR Zennon..

Cheers dude. Was out in the rain for over an hour and only got 8 photos and 2 keepers!! Still worth it though...
