I have used Minolta/Sony all my life but I recently went to the Nikon D600. Using the darn thing has been a challenge in the focus dept. The cameras are very different. I went out today and set the camera to the spot focus mode to try and gain control of the thing in shallow depth of field situations. Nothing fancy about the pix but the sudjects were good practice


The fuzzies, fabulous shot as well. Good post thanks

Here is the closest thing I have to the first shot, which was tragically lost when my old PC died.
I'm anxious to see how all of us have improved.

Heres my first post and never actually improved haha as the knowledge increased the brain cells got older and so it ended up as a nett loss.

Thanks Ugly People but especially Miss Tilde. Your encouragement has kept me going!

This was where Theresa got her Nickname "Tail light Tide" and in the process caught the Ugly Hedgehog Bug and another benifit as well. (A free copy of Lightroom haha)

Wait a minute...

How did I get into this... it's about YOUR AMAZING photographs, not my critiques (lack-there-of)! LOL

(and yanno... i really AM lovin' these! My dream car, aside from a ...wait for it.... "Spider" of course... is a powder blue '65 Mustang convertible with a cream interior. I've only seen ONE, EXACTLY the way I envision it... in my life. And low and behold... NOT for Sale!)

Now I can continue on with my self-imposed study of back-ends... with some semblance of dignity!
Tail-lights to be exact! People around here are looking at me strange when I ask to take photos of their CAR'S behind! :))

Intriguing and very sucessful. Not much of a "mesing with photos fan" but like these very much, the child is beautiful but #3 I think is terrific. Well done and well done Nikon!

Whether you do it in camera or with software, making multiple exposures can give terrific pattern pictures. I want to start a page that celebrates the fun of double, triple or more exposures in one image.
You can use multiprisms, multi-exposures (My Nikon shoots up to ten frames on top of each other... or twenty if I combine two raws in camera!). Or you can simply do it in the computer. However, I think, in camera is best.
The first picture of the three little girls is in fact the same girl... I've halved her face to combine two left sides, two right sides and one straight shot. Isn't it amazing how different the two halves of a face can be?
The second picture is taken at night and inverted before tinting.
The third picture is just the result of waving the camera about in a shopping mall, with the multiple exposure set.

There are miles and miles of streams in the smokies. You could shoot them forever and probably not get them all.


Amazing set of pix, keep them coming.

Oh Lord, thank God for giving Wendy such talent! Incredible transformation, I would never have dreamed that was possible!

That is really dreadful!!!! The very LEAST the "photographer" should have done is get the photo in focus and edit them to some degree. I believe that the young couple should ask the guy to reimburse a good portion of the money, because at least then they could have someone edit their photos to make them more acceptable.

Here is a very quick fix on one of the photos.

Ian, just wanted to let you know that Nikon calls this a micro lens and the brochure describes it as macro photography. Here is what is on the box: AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 85mm f/3.5G ED VR, closest focus (0.9ft)


Remember Them foreigners don't speak or write proper like us English people do. WE will have to learn them right. Once again if I could make photos like yours I would be doing it and not nit picking ha ha.

Goodnight and keep coming up with unusual renditions of every day stuff.

Thanks, God gave one one good eye, two deaf ears and the most amazing sweetheart ever, I can do without hearing but enjoy looking at .... every waking moment of my day and the only ones I have to thank are God for sending her and Ugly Hedgehog for bringing her to me!

Goodnight and thanks!

Now that you mention it I see that there is only one lense in your photo. I fail to see even with two eyes.

Very Nice, looks fairly sharp to me... I have hear of using enlarging lenses on bellows but have never known anyone who has done it.
Thanks Geff coming from a fella with such macro skills as you have thats a great compliment. The good news is next week I am getting a brand new Sinar 6x7 camera with a Leaf Digital 90 meg back and a new Apple Mac system and 3 macro lenses for the Sinar. That is if the one lottery ticket I bought WINS haha or it's back to the Epoxy glue and try another old enlarger lens. Tilde will kill me if I mess her bellows unit up cutting the old lens off the bellows with the blow torch!
At the moment She is doing a happy dance because the Ravens won. Maybe now is a good time to warn her!
Goodnight, Ian
