I have no macro so this is what I have so far.


goblin lair or feed me for a title?

I like it! I like the contrast and pattern.

In the small view you gave us, the image doesn't appear to be too clear... I think that a crop of it would help too

My first impression was that this was a bunch of chicken feet. I like the colors and contrast, but agree that more focus would be better.

a spent thistle? I agree that its somewhat OOF.

wats005

thank you. I agree oof but it is very hard with something this size. I will try again with the tripod tomorrow and see what I come up with. Thank you again.

I hate those things, I cut down a tree because of them. But it would make it nicer as other have said about working on the focus. Good subject maybe a higher f stop to get more DOF. Definitely get the camera on the tripod. DO you have Live View for finer focus adjust?

DOnt tell. I am not sure as I am still working on figureing out my camera, and only have a kit lens plus a 50 1.8. I will work on it tonight!!

I agree with the focus issue. Perhaps make your light a bit more dramatic to enhance the depth and the texture.

You might try to burn them and shoot the afterglow. It's phenomenal.

I understand why folks cut down trees. Personally, I love them.

Thank you. SO we have a disagreement in the house. Should the center "beak" be in focus or the ones around it more?

I guess I didn't take them as minimum dimesions required, but more as an idea on how to get close up.

Reminds me of a bunch of baby birds waiting for mother. Interesting image.
