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.

Up close and personal at the mini-meet...

Closeup of member rog's scalp using Nikkor 105mm + Hoya diopters stacked to +7 and SB800... F32 @ 1/30s...

Image

Mrs Leek found this picture rather gross...
I just wish I had that many hairs... :D

I'm definitely going to buy myself a set of diopters...
Cheers, John

A flea wouldn't have a chance. tthat's a great shot. Oh how white the skin is.

That's not the dog I'm looking for in my post of 5 minutes ago is it? Did he wear a choka chain?

OK... Just to make you feel more sick... here is a 100% crop...


I'm amazed about the translucency of the hairs and that you can see the oil on the hair... Also there is a much thinner fibre in there as well... Must be a man-made fibre...

Hi Rog... sorry to carry out this in depth study of your follicles in public :lol:

John - I was watching you take this shot of Roger’s scalp and to me, and I believe others, we were amused by how close you were :lol:

But, having seen the results, I am totally gobsmacked with how sharp it is and hence your hand holding capability - fabulous :D

Thanks Chris... I think it's called luck... The flash did the trick I think... If you look closely, you can see quite a bit of hand-shaking going on there's a bit of ghosting in some areas...

Leek

amazing

who knew a set of diopters could assist in such wizardry

dumb question
How do you open a childproof container of Methanol
and where exactly do you place these stacked diopters, on the lens or on the viewfinder eyepiece?

I'll see what I can find. :)

What's more, they were my diopters!

Wendell, these diopters go on the lens, like a filter would. The effect is not unlike that of the diopter in the viewfinder, in that it lets the viewer, be it the eye or the CCD as appropriate, focus more closely. More info here:
http://www.toledo-bend.us/index.shtml?diopter

Mine are a Hoya 49mm +1, +2 and +4 set, with a 52-49mm step down ring.

Cheers,
- Rog
