Naomi, her eyes are striking!

guys you got any tips for me to rid the yellowishness in photos when taken under florescent lighting?

Set your WB to flourescent...or use an Expodisc or similar tool. A white Pringles lid works great.

Picture 1: Split lighting idea is good. Need to bring the light a little more 90 degree to you as the spill over from the nose is distracting

Picture 2: I"m not fond of the lighting to be under your face for this one. The light does not make the photograph. This may be because you didn't have a stand to put it on and in that case you may want to find something higher to put it on.

Picture 3: The double shadow is caused by a lamp light from a garage or something? Your source light needs to be a little stronger to wash out the other shadow.

Sorry for the late reply.

Just came back from Osoyoos with my wife from our 2 year wedding anniversary :) Came across this huge butterfly...
Here are couple shots.

Shot #1 is great....maybe a closer crop would be better. Liking that macro lens, I see. :)

"All bokeh, all the time."

Thank you sir :) Actually I was using my 24-105 L IS lens. *drool* hehe

holy damn! That's a nice lens!

Thanks! :D My bank account was empty for a while after the purchase of that lens... haha

I love looking at bug shots. Maybe it's because I never have the patience to take them myself. Haha.

I've been lucky to get a great shot of an ant and a fly that I posted a while back... My next goal: spider :D

Macro for life!

Comments and critique? Taken with a Sigma 70-300mm APO @ 190mm F5.6 on a XTi.

I like the over all shot... but there is something that bothers me, and I can't figure out what... :S Is it the lighting maybe?

Ah, ok....that bokeh didn't seem right to me. Now I know why. Not shitting on the 24-105, but the bokeh didn't seem as smooth as a macro lens usually is.

How about spider webs? :D

The model or the image of the model?? I vote the former. :lol

Hmm... deja vu... I seem to remember someone posting spider webs... I just can't recall who... :p

I wanna get a good shot of the spider from the front. See how nasty they actually look hehe I'll definately need my macro for that one. Oh, and I see what you mean by the bokeh not being as smooth because I wasn't using a macro lens.
