we were on a wooden plank/walkway and there were people and bikes that kept going past which shook the whole time not to mention the bridge changes colour like every couple mins...was a nightmare trying to time and get the shot i wanted XD

Funkgab

another one taken on the same night...Brisbane CBD

the picture could've been more colourful...was taken on a saturday night where most of the office buildings had lights off...the picture made it look like there is a lot more light than there really was...

Thats one BIG car, with a boot (or trunk) 8 foot of the ground.
So, its gone from 30' to 8' and now probably 4', lol.

Still, i feel for you. I hate the look of watching something fall, knowing that you cant do anything about it. That happened with my iPhone, 5' onto concrete. Luckily it was OK.

So I got bored and felt like some macro photography. It's quite beautiful what kind of composition you can create with just a little plant and some water drops -- so simple:

i really want to get a macro lens too played around a bit with my friend's and it's pretty cool...but don't think will be getting one anytime soon (spent WAY too much money this year already as it is =_=)

Kool kool thanks.
All I have right now is a Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Im pretty satisfied with the lens, but Im still learning. I have been taking pictures using my own "Optimize Image" settings and I have sharpness at +2 along with my own contrast and color settings.

Funkgab

oh no wonder its so sharp.. i was about to say thats not really a super high quality lens.. but great work..

and hilbert what macro lens are you using? i know its not 50mm reversed haha

Definitely not ..

That was done with aCanon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro AF. Very nice lens I might add.

Funkgab

very expensive L lens.. haha one day ill have a set of L lenses.. well maybe if i switch over to canon.. your not just limited to macro with that lens are you? you can use it for other things as well right?

So today I went hiking/picnic with some friends and I took my cam with me. Pretty beginner myself and a normal camera setup, but I think this is a photo worth sharing with you ppl

Finally I got chance to try modified infrared body. The camera is D50, and AF-S 17-55 f/2.8 lens.

WLADYC thats cool but how does that work? does the infrared filter have some kind of filter for blues and reds? hence different colors on her hair for those 2 photos?

WLADYC · *Last edited by WLADYC; 11-18-2009 at 01:39.*

my modified body uses probably 650nm cut filter, so the sensor still received more color (compared to 720nm cut or 900nm). all the false colors (hair,leaves,grass etc) on the images edited in photoshop ( color balance, channel mixer, hue/saturation or selective color ), depends on what colors you prefer to display.
