I have a D5300 (given to me) so I did some research before having it. Pros over D7100: D5300 is much lighter and smaller; great for street photography. They have the same sensor but D5300 has a newer processor and produces better high iso pics. You can compare here, see iso comparison...

Love the bokeh and feel. The colors could be more cheery though. Thin DOF works for this pic but focused subject is too small, and right smack in the center. Were u using single point focus in the middle? Needs to improve on the composition, start with rule of thirds. On the left there's an...

The leaves should be placed better, but I'm not sure it is a good subject. Maybe if there's something more, like flowers or bees. Perhaps it's me that can't appreciate leaves? :think: The defocused leaves could be due to it moving away and shifting away from the focus point? Usually I would...

I think you are trying to make bokeh the main subject, that's not wrong if you are into abstract art/photography but in your pic, some leaves are focused and positioned in a weird place so anyone who sees this would think the leaves are the main subject. The best use of bokeh is to have it...

I see, off topic leh bro. ;p Anyway, I doubt I'm going into insects macro which I think the 150mm will be good for. They freak me out.

With the 15mm, or 9mm Fisheye lens? Results?

I meant for his cracked sensor. Maybe it will make the defect less obvious after using pixel mapping.

What happens when you use pixel mapping?

It's almost impossible to use the 9mm fisheye lens with macro extension because you need to be very near the subject, like 1cm, to be able to focus and the DOF is far too thin to be useful. Here's an example with the bodycap fisheye lens & macro extension. It's the top of a regular lighter:

Ordered some cheap Macro Extensions for my M4/3 to play around, & decided to see if it works with the Olympus Bodycap 15mm Lens. From my findings, I think it worked pretty well with the 10mm extension. Doesn't work well with the Bodycap 8mm Fisheye Lens though. At 15mm, the lens has to be...

Always try to get closer, unless you are limited by the surroundings or constrains of your camera/lens. My reasons to crop: 1) Most of the time when shooting street, I don't have a lot of time to compose my shots before the subject disappears. As I practice, my composition gets better &...

It's quite simple. On the Flashair settings there is 2 things you can set: 1) The Flashair SSID where you connect to the Flashair using a device/phone/tablet. 2) The Router SSID where the Flashair will connect to. So I connect my android tablet to the Flashair, and the flashair connects to the...

I've got a Flashair 32GB. It allows passthrough mode which is impressive. The camera had to be quite near the AP though. No issues with transferring files. This is great for editing files on my android tablet.

You've captured the beautiful essence of the sunset. I don't need to be there to enjoy it now. :) Personally, I would increase the exposure by a stop or 2 but that is personal preference. Some composition issues other than what's already pointed out; photo is not straight, horizon line too...

Wow, the creatures are beautifully crafted. Did you make them yourself? I used to do stop motion, so I can really appreciate the craft on these tiny things. I like how you arrange them to tell a story as well. This is not a critic, it's something I want to try to see how it will improve the...
