Wa !! these pics are really "poison" pics !! I think I need the antidote (50mm macro) to get rid of the poison in me

Wow, good eyes for all the beautiful shots, better than those stock library photos. Dont think it's just the lens, I cant shoot similar photos even with my 50mm macro

Thanks for sharing. Maybe you can post them in the Marco & Close Ups Gallery too. Keep it coming.

he is using the E300 with the beautiful ZD 50mm lens. its recommended to use RAW file format for better details cos the in-camera jpg engine is not very good.

GO BUY BUY! BUY! E300!!

as for Xing, how about selling me your ZD 50mm? $650 keen?

i hope marlboro_guy can post a few 100% crop images, then u will really see the power & juiciness of this ZD 50mm. i m so head over heels....

Also to update you on the settings for taking these pictures...Flowers, I bot from Cold Storage for 8sgd....Placed them next to my window (4.00pm) with three huge reflectors surrounding it from the opposite side......with the same settings, i moved the flowers a bit to change the composition..Also used a fill in flash if required..(mostly for the red flowers)....

....

Went ova to sbg today, but sigh!!! no insects...

Found one naughty spider in the orchid garden...I saw him sitting ova a leaf... by the time I set my camera he ran below the leaf...thn when I go down, he will look at me and move to the top....nao this hppnd around 6-7 times and I wasted nrly 45mins with playing hide n seek....finally, he showed me his behind n jumped off - dun knw where....

Sigh!!!...bad day....but will try my luck again in some other place....May be we can also arrange a session and discuss our findings and learnings in the next...

save his pics posted here onto your comp, later open them in photo viewer which can display the exif information, for example acdsee or oly studio/viewer/master. In the exif info you will have all the details.
