meddling with macro

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.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

meddling with macro

Postby seeto.centric on Fri Jul 18, 2008 3:32 am

Hi everyone, boredom has gotten the better of me during this uni break but thankfully i have a new toy to play with (Tamron 90/2.8)

Processed in CS3, no presets or anything. NX's snail pace frustrates me but its results are really startling compared to CS3. i'll stick to CS3 for its interface and sheer speed.

its a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet lens!
but tell me one thing, does yours make a little rattle sound when you flip the lens upside down (lens on its own, no camera). sounds like rice grains or something very light inside...

Mmmmm
I told you #2 was gorgeous - I loved the vibrant purple colours and how sharp the insides of it were! Even others agree :) You are becoming quite the macroman! heehee. Can't wait til I get my hands on one of these babies... in the distant future.

Definitely like #2, I like the way the petals form the lines and seem to drag your eyes to the bud (is that the right term?)

Pretty nice colour there also! :D

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
