haha i feel so paiseh to mention that i didn't really take background into consideration. most of the time i care too much on the object itself. i guess it's just the natural background. there are many other photos i took for this flower, some with honey bee, but i still prefer this one.

The Sun-birds only show up around 7 to 9 am there...

for tripods, its best to try it out yrself..feel the weight you are about to carry first then buy...no point buying something $700 for a good one but u only use it less then 10 times a year? right?

true, that's why i'm still thinking. unsure about my future interest on photography as i got too many interests already. rock climbing, cycling, trekking...

the G1126 looks rather small and might be easy to carry when trekking.

nah it's just lucky that i can find some presentable ones among the wastes. we all have much more to learn.

 

[knoxknocks]

#5 is especially good :thumbsup: Keep shooting and posting!

 

[S11loop]

[GriGri]

heh thanks, i'd like to stay here longer and listen to pros' comments.

 

[tokrot]

Very impressive! Sharp and very nice colors... You don't look like a newbie to me... :bsmilie:

I do have a sigma lens 70-300 Macro II too.. May I know which pictures are taken with the sigma lens? Thanks!

 

[k_istDS]

This pic is great, the background totally blur off (just like using a gradient wallpaper) , and the sharpness of the flower.. very nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Is it just my display or do some of the pictures display a cool (bluish) cast to them?

Might want to use a Skylight 1B filter in those conditions.

never tought of that before, will adjusting the WB solve the problem?

Custom WB should work.. But you'll need a moderately large, flat, white object to set it. Something like A4 bright white paper should do.
