Now that's what I'm talking about..............I really like the new pattern of the arms. Cool colors help to add interest to the image. Like this a lot. Trippy! ;)
Here's a crop for an alternative to consider...lost a bit of color in the transaltion..........
Hi Bob,definate improvement over your previous post. The detaii,color and symetry make this a strong image. In this case I like the fact you left more room on the right to offset the subject. Well done!
Hi Bob. Yup, I agree with the others - this is a big improvement over your first post. An interesting subject and effective use of the black background. Well done.
I am pretty new to macro, and I do have a few questions, especially about camera settings. First about F36. I was under the impression very high F numbers cause internal lens refraction that has a negative effect on image sharpness, and I can't see why F36 was necessary here, especially since the subject is basically on a plane perpendicular to the lens, which should require quite a bit less DOF. Also the 5 second exposure time may have a negative effect as well, especially with a macro subject, simply due to even slight air movement or small environmental vibrations that would never have an effect in non-macro photography. I certainly could be incorrect, but I was wondering. regards~Bill
Bill....You're right that f16/ f11 probably would have been better....I just wanted to be sure my dof was covered and I probably went too far. Right again on the 5 sec but I remember that the light was very dim....just after sunset
