wah lau - i am still new here dun say things like that lar! :embrass:

Din go for the canongrapher outing - actually the pics were all taken over a duration of abt 1 month all at different times. was actually doing a course on macro photography and picked up these skills, was a slow learner so had to go back on my own to take a few times.

speaking of which, must mention my si fu (Mr Low Soon Leong), im glad to have the honour of learning from him :thumbsup:

glad you like it

thank you both, v.high praise :sweat:

 

[HotPixel]

Superb series. Very well taken. Keep up the fantastic work.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[Sharpion]

thanks for the compliments!

to ans some your queries:

I used low DOF so thats why the rest of the subject (wanted only the eyes sharp) is actually not sharp, this is how i got the 'color effect' - there is no PS done on the BG at all, just A LOT of shots and a lot of patience.

 

[muka_tikus]

Sharpion : post more pictures le... wanna see... :lovegrin:

Ortega : wahlao, whr got bluff... only huff & puff... :bsmilie: besides, it's been quite awhile since my last roll...

 

[dragos]

very cool...with your framing, looks like those motivation posters

 

[Sharpion]

muka_tikus: i got post somemore in the abstract section, been busy with my new hobby so haven't been taking much pics

dragos: thanks, good idea! now i gotta think of motivating phrases

thanks for all the great comments guys!

for those who PM me: i was using my 90mm tamron, F5.6, all the shots NOT taken with flash to maintain as natural color as possible - used tripod to maintain light and low shutter speed :sweat:

have actually 1 more pink one which i will add later 2nite

And you took all these shots without flash?
That's frigging outrageous:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Very nice saturation.
I like the shadow created by the hopper in #04.
My only nit is the cut off antennaes.

hey thanks man!

my fav pic is #4 too - yeah agree shame abt its antennaes, those things are freaking long...i was in a very uncomfortable position and with tripod legs sticking everywhere was hard to recompose without scaring it away.
