Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Frogs

Postby rangie on Mon Apr 21, 2008 8:31 am

Hi All, here are a couple of pics from a recent camping trip. I decided to go for a walk and see what I could find to photograph and stumbled across some frogs, this was my first go at night time macro photography but I really learnt alot. Out of about 50 shots only a handfull worked out, I was hand holding my SB600 and was using it wirelessly, and had a mate shine the torch onto the frog so I could get the focus right... Taken with a Sigma 105mm macro.

Ben,

Great first effort.

To improve the images you could have gone for a much smaller aperture than f/4.5 as this would have increased the depth of field and more of the frogs would be sharp. With the SB600 you should have been able to go to f/16 and maybe even smaller which would have made a huge difference to the DOF.

Also, softening the light with a diffuser or soft box would have made the lighting more pleasing.

By the way, I believe the frogs are Litoria lesueuri (Lesueur's Frog).
