Photo Competition CHAT thread.

[green.fields]

Just a little change to the chat thread.

A place to chat about photo's in the competition thread (it will be an ongoing thread) and also where you can post photo's that may not quite fit in with the current weeks theme and also any other photo's you may like to show off.

As usual put creepy crawlies in a spoiler box.

it seems it has a macro mode that it chooses automatically if you have it set on Superior Auto. ??

Oh, and a tripod is a must for macro photography.........When I shoot flowers, for example, I usually do it early in the morning, when the air is still...........

Thank you Band.

I've saved the first one under favourites so I can show Mr when he's home.

I knew they weren't cheap, we did look once in a shop here but I had no real idea what to look for...

Now I do and my camera is a Canon so that makes it easier for me.

Thanks Jake, I perused that sight many times before deciding to buy the lens. I ended up getting the latest model even though he suggested the previous one was the better one. Maybe I should have listened to him.

The camera I have is so bad that it says the blurry photo blinked if there's a wind of any kind.  Plus it delays a half second at least when you take the photo. 

Son is correct.   Camera  ________ .

Lol pimpy I took it off superior auto. I'll try it again when I get home.

Donnasks, what is the name of your camera, just for interest sake, sons can be quite scathing on what their mothers have. lol.

I have a Sony DSLR and I am going to stand in the corner with Pimpy because I really don't use it to the best of it's abilities either.

Tripod?. what's that? Oh yes, I do have one but always in to much of a hurry to get it out...

I don't have a "Macro" lense...I wish I had more lenses but alas hubby can't think why I want them, I could try and sweet talk my brother and ask could I please borrow one or two of his, just for testing purposes of course

Band, love your tree and nut photo and the other trees.

I have no idea what macro can really do...  it's just a little picture on the Nikon coolpix L830 camera!   Hopeless wantabe here... but I do so enjoy taking photos when I'm up to getting about and doing so.

Pimpy, that collage is absolutely stunning - it would look amazing printed on canvas and framed.
