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.

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.

Goodness knows I am a sucker for a macro shot, but Kerry this one is great.

I am hoping Santa will be nice to me again this year and drop a dedicated macro lens under the tree for me.

cheers

Thought you had disappeared Kerry and then you come up with a shot that makes me yearn for that lens and it’s a Nikkor to boot :D

This is great Kerry, really like the image in the droplet... Be tempted to clone out those highlights in the drop tho ;)

Macro shots like this really seem to expose another world...

Lovely shot kerry. The reflections actually make it look like there's vegetation bundled up inside the drop. Well done

Nice effect Kerry, but others have failed to point out this is more noisier than my SBS channel.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind comments! :D

Chris: The 70-180 micro is one tough lens. I really like it. I just picked up a Sigma 180 macro, which is about half the price of the Nikkor. Focus is much faster and quiet on the Sigma and it has almost double the working distance, so it's a cool lens for chasing bugs. But, it's a prime, not gonna replace my Nikkor. I did about 100 shots with the Sigma tonight. It's a very sharp lens as well. It's a little smaller than the 70-200 F/2.8, but larger than the Nikkor 70-180.
