u using GIMP or CS3...i though lightroom alone is sufficient to make the suggested adjustment ...my photos 95% all adjust in lightroom, CS3 is for major make over or adding of watermark/framing etc...

anyway seems like the weather is not on ur side... why no japanese babes photos :bsmilie:

GIMP or CS3 also can do those things Longko suggested. Trying to bring the clouds out with more layers, so maybe that explains the darkness. I am not good with PS (yet).

You can see why I haven't post any of the tomita lavender farm photos.. the bloody weather wasn't nice to me (though I still enjoyed the trip)...

Babes... wah, you want me kena han tam on the head ah. My wife with me all the time ler.. moreover, I wasn't looking :angel: (as if, :devil. The ladies are so much more 'pro' with their fashion sense, and they are always with make-up (almost flawless). And frankly speaking, 1 stone dim outside on the street, you get more than just a handfull of pretty ones. In fact, count all the fingers and toes you have, that should be more like it.

Thx^^ Macro lens you can get a manual focus one with no worry. In any case, most of the best macro photographer uses MF even with an AF lens. But you need to confirm if it focus 1:1, cause some old MF macro lens only up to 1:2.

The main diff between f2.8 and f4 is when you do creative shots, where there are thin DOF at wide open. f2.8 will give u a more blur effect (bokeh) than f4 lens.

If you ever free on weekdays around 12pm-2pm, let me know. Maybe we can arrange a short meet-up to do some macro together^^

thanks in advance, sifu ...

Shot this with A200 rear converter 1.4 plus kenko 2 times converter with flash.
Trying on the magnification. Handheld as such flash is a necessity cos a little shake is magnified.

Zeek, not very sure if I have gone to the minimum focusing distance. With the converters, handheld almost impossible without flash. Most other shots are blurred, anyway moving insects like ants..... Just trying something new. Maybe add in extension tube again..

Tks zeek.

I suggest u loose 1 tc and go for ext tube^^ Then maybe add a reverse lens infront. But u'll need get a flash bracket or a macro ring flash or a twin light flash^^;
