I just found this place and just looking around I am glad I did. Here is my first official picture post. I love macro photography even though I am not so good at it. It is my favorite to shoot other than shots of my little boy. Here are a few flowers I did this past summer with my Nikon D200 and Tamron 90mm Macro. Feel free to give me some honest C&C. It can only help me get better.

No idea how to use them but learning more everyday.

    Lovely captures. esp like #1

    The yellow in #2 is a bit blown - common problem with Digiatl sensors.

    I agree. Unfortunately I took it before I started shooting in RAW so I really limited anything I could do in post processing, at least with my non-exsistant skills.

    nice series, I like the colors especially. I might compose shots like this with
    the flower centers off to one side, as if the flower was "looking" into the
    other corner of the frame.

    I like shooting flowers as well so I look forward to more of your work!

    Hi there Nubster, great first post clap.gif
    It's nice to hear your enjoying being part of Dgrin Forum.

    You look like your doing pretty darn good to me.
    I like all three shots, but my favourite is the First Shot nod.gif

    Very nicely captured .... hope you will continue to post thumb.gif

    Happy Shooting .... Skippy :D
