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.

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.

Well this wasn't too bad seeing as I have a tripod worst than that advertisement that was posted on here some time back for an aluminium square tubing tripod. I can breath on it and it would move.
Lens used was a Sigma 70-300MM APO Super Macro with a Hoya +2 closeup diopter. Using the SB-800 as a bit of fill light.

All in all, not too bad considering the gear used. Really need a decent tripod though.

Not bad at all Kipper - but there is a lot of chromatic aberration around some of the petals, this can be removed if you have the iNova actions.

I love this flower.
I am happy about the fact that affordable gear is producing
good quality photos, such as yours.
I used to have the sigma 70-300mm super APO II and have managed
to take some very crisp and clear shots.
Keep it up.
Nice work.

kipper,
get the decent tripod, your 70-200VR can do for you a nice macro lens with the Canon 500D 77mm on it, you'll be surprised.

Hi Birddog114,

can you demonstrate the 70-200VR with the Canon 500D 77mm on Saturday ?
That would be cool.

CD,
On this Saturday, you can play with the C500D on your 70-200VR and you can tell more about it.

Yeah I saw the (blue) chromatic abberations on the edges of the petals. I think the Hoya +2 closeup causes this. Never realised iNova had an action to remove it though.
