African giant black millipede shot at the canadian museum of nature in Ottawa, Canada.


This is my first attempt using this effect. I ended up using the "out of bounds" action found here at atncentral. I tried "pop out" and couldn't "figure it out" :rolleyes and settled for this.

There are two mistakes on this 1.) There is a dark band accross the top of frame I accidentally left in. 2.) I didn't include just enough "in frame" and will extend that down a smidgeon.

Oh I shot this with a tamron 70-300 in macro mode.

    We used to sell these at a pet shop my family owns. Nasty things and yet people still buy them for petsne_nau.gif Nice picture. I like the framing technique (sp?)

    Hey AJ,

    Usually I just hated framed shots but this one is the exception. Very nicely done.thumb.gif

    Thanks everyone for the feedback! I wanted to try the effect before, but like some have said, it's sometimes tacky or overdone. I waited to get this type of shot, and I guess it worked.


    Last time I posted something "different" on another (cough**STF) all hell broke loose, it's nice to hear constructive critisism without the calous. GJ Dgrin!clap.gif

    Thanks again!
