My 1st take on Butts

Snoweagle · 16th April 2006

Here's my 1st take on the Elbowed Pierrot and Blue Jay.

Just my thought, I might be wrong. For pic 2 & 3, do u think cropping away the out of forcus foreground leaving more head room on the top will make the pics look better?

Pic 1 & 4 are a little too centre to me, if can go down lower to get a eye level shot would be better, but that means getting ourselves dirty.

Ok i'll explain. All pics are not taken by a macro lens and all are taken lying down on the ground.

The 1st pic is taken by my Sony PnS digicam. The remaining 3 pics are taken by my EOS 30 with the tamron 28-300. All pics are also uncropped.

Bumping....

I would prefer to see the photos shot at lower angle though. i.e. Not low enough.

Hmm...but i'm already lying flat on the ground, maybe due to my grip bah.

sumball · 20th April 2006

U r lying flat on the ground, so did your camera?

sumball · 20th April 2006

When my camera and myself are flat on the gound, I get these.

Snoweagle · 20th April 2006

Yes...i'm flat on the ground and so is my cam. Maybe i should've taken without the grip.

Only the 1st n last is a bit off the ground.

Yep...couldn't agree more with Sumball.
Gotta go further down.
My take on a Elbowed Pierrot with the grip attached.
C'mon don't let SIAEC down.

Yeah man

Cos it's my 1st time doing these so quite inexperienced hehe...

Couldn't get any closer cos i wasn't using a dedicated macro lens. Maybe in future should dig my cam right in the sand.

the elbowed pierrot need fill in flash

#2 - the flash is too harsh and you should isolate your subject

#3 - best angle of the lot, but crop away the foreground

the last one shld be shot at a lower angle

the colors of your blue jay looks slightly reddish
