Last week I participated in a reptile workshop for close-ups and macro. I decided to only use the 300 with tubes in order to start learning the ins and outs of using tubes. Sure makes a difference in how close you can get and fill the viewfinder! This little darling is my first attempt with the 300 as well as my first :eek: total CS4 processing (sharpening, levels, and curves) carefully (soft of ;)) following some guidelines Mike Moats provided as part of his online Close-Up course. I also removes several green grass shoots from the foreground and across the gecko's body. I have to send this image and a few others that I will share to Mike for this portion of the course - Shooting Full DOF.
