Artist's Comments

:floating:

Love "hunting" these with my camera.

Wanted to approach it in a artistic way, something i find very hard with insects, so i tried not to get to close, so the surroundings would be a vital part of the photo.

Underexposed it by -1 in the camera, to make sure no areas where to bright/blown out.

Had to use some time in photoshop with this one.
Shadow recovery, grain removal, curves , selective blur and selective sharpen, crop to square. Resize using bicubic.
I only wanted it to look as close to reality as possible. No crazy color changes on this one.

Thats about it, any question or feedback is very appreciated.

Hva slags objektiv har du brukt her? For jeg skal skaffe meg macro snart, men vet ikke helt hva slags.

Bildet var utrolig pent! Fokuset var kjempebra!

Today I sneezed and no one said bless you. It made me feel sad. The person next to me sneezed and I screamed bless you in there face to make them feel appreciated. They looked a little frightned. MLIA

Er det canon kamera du bruker?
Jeg bruker Canon 100mm F2.8 til alle makrobildene mine.
Det er et fantastisk objektiv, det er litt dyrt, men ikke i forhold til varighet.
Sigma 105mm er et billigere alternativ, det skal være et bra objektiv, men jeg har ikke testet det selv. Bra du likte bildet :aww:

Ja, bruker Canon EOS 350D :)
Greit, jeg skal skjekke det ut. Kan heller spare opp mer penger og kjø pe et bra objektiv, i stedet for å kjø pe et nå som ikke er noe bra :D

[ja, det er mellomrom mellom ø og p'ene. hvis ikke funker det ikke oO]

Såg det, du har en bra start! Makrofotografering er avhengighetsskapende, det merker du nok fort :brushteeth: Jeg kan ved nød bruke blitz på blomster, MED softer fremfor, det er viktig.
Men på insekt bruker jeg det aldri, det gir en svært lite pen bieffekt på "Huden" og øynene deres. Da velger jeg heller å pumpe opp isoen til 200-400, men på soldager holder 200 =)

Sett veldig mange bra makrobilder med 105 objektivet, tror dem er ganske lik hverandre.
Men jeg sverger til canon :aww: Si ifra visst du lurer på noe annet og når du kjø;per det.
Japp Ø blir smilefjes.
Japanfoto og fotovideo er nok de billigeste, ville sjekket prisen der. og ddmr.no
