1st try with extension tubes on 50mm

I love the moth but what most intrigues me are the delicate little flower spikes it is balancing on. Beautiful.

Hi and thanks for posting. br br I am an amateur ... (show quote)

thank you for your help I am already learning quite a bit. I know that I will need two sets of arms ha ha but I think I really need a wagon to carry all that . Actually I am sort of a Minimalist and like to travel light ... one or two lenses at the most . I am going to give in a get a tripod though. This philosophy may not always give me the best shot ...but its what I am into right now.
;) I am sure I will change my mind a dozen times though.
Thanks for the insight and help.

"Girl with Blue Eyes" - stunning ! What was she crying / angry about? She has not quite gotten over it - hopefully, you were not to blame !! but, you captured it - great first impact.

Ha ha. girl with blue eyes is amazing.... she is in 4th grade. yikes right?! I had been begging her to let me take her photo and she looked me square in the eye right like that . Bam and I snapped as quick as I could. Then she hammed it up for about an hour. The other girl who was looking off did not know I was taking her photo. The second shot was when I called her name. and the girl on the beach was my kid :wink: who is my practice person .. she gets sick of me saying... let me take your picture . Thanks for the input :thumbup:

Hi , I have been working at teaching myself photography for the past year. I have stumbled across this group and it seems awesome. I have been to other sites and although fun they do not offer much in the way of critique . I am desperate for some constructive advice. Lately I have been interested in taking portraits. Although I am not really interested in portrait photography but more interested in interesting faces. Here are a few that I have taken. would love some input .
Cheers and nice to meet everyone :-)
