Trying a Plonsky

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. 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. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

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.

Tried a little experiment. Took two shots of the SC29 with the Sigma 105mm macro with slightly different focussing points. Combined in PS. Not a great photo just an experiment.

Has kind of created a nice sense of depth. Could be something in this....keep pushing it.

Hi Chris,

I like the photo.
The Sigma lens seems to be a fine one.
What was the distance between the front of the lens and the object ?
I'm also quite curious to understand the pp you did using two photos with different focus point.

Regards

Hi CD

Distance would have been about 2 inches.

In one shot I focussed on the top of the SC29 and the other more on the front coil of the cable.

Opened the SC29 focus shot in PS and then opened the coiled focus of the SC29. Did a command A with the marque tool on the coiled focus photo and then command C to copy. On the SC29 focus photo I formed a new layer and in the new layer I did command V to paste the coiled focus photo over the top of the SC29 focus. I then used the brush eraser to remove the top of the SC29 from the coiled focus shot thereby revealing the sharper top underneath and then flattened the whole thing

I hope that makes sense - it’s late and I have come down with the flu this evening.
