My good friend and his new bride and a few gentlemen...
Canon EOS 20D :: 135 mm :: f 5.6 :: 1/400 sec :: iso 400 :: 2009-06-27
PP in Aperture and Photoshop CS3
Wow! Great job getting the Victorian look!
I like the colours.
Here's another macro that I took on the same day. Like I explained earlier, I figured I'd give it a shot after seeing dllavaneras' macro photos.
They're clearly not as good, but I'm actually surprised that I was able to do it at all. I hate insects, and it was really really difficult.
1/250 seconds, f/8, ISO 200.

Thanks for the comments...and for the moniker, Reef!
I have to admit the ducks were remote-controlled--by tossed cookie crumbs, strategically placed to get the ducks into position.
Here's another one from Vintgar Gorge. I rarely shoot at f/20, but I wanted to experiment that day:
I agree…I'd love to bite my teeth into that wood. Wash it down with some of that cyan water. Damn you Phrasikleia.
I did finally realise they are quoting the first post, however when I first saw your photo Phrasikleia it was the way light falling on the scene gave me that sort of edible feeling…sort of…eh too many Cadbury ads.

LOL. I also wasn't sure at first if duminyricky's comment was in reference to my photo, but I'll take it!
Oh man, this is a simple reminder of how awesome macro photography can be. really nice shot, colour, focus and detail!
Many thanks for all the comments about my last pic. My method is really just to let the light dictate the kind of pix I take. Being patient waiting to see what happens next.
I keep everything simple - one camera, one lens, tripod & cable release. Low ISO, f10 or f11 with shutter speed as the only variable. With nothing to think about, I can pay attention to whats happening. When the light is revealing, I shoot a lot of pix, generally bracketing 3 or more shots around the ideal exposure. Therell be one shot to keep, and the others to discard but I dont do this till I get home and view the pix on the big screen. Conversely, when the light is unrevealing, I dont shoot any pix at all.
What a soothing, peaceful and colour rich photo. This calms me and make me want to own a location like that.
Bracketing is so helpful in photography. Nice explanation of your process in the field.
Nice... I like the way the path is lit, while everything else is in shadow. And I feel I could reach out and touch the wooden handrail; it's almost 3D...
A single house sitting in an empty field, with no roads or eyesores in sight ----- where the heck do you find such awesomeness!?
The North Pennines, sometimes called 'England's last wilderness': mile after mile of open moorland, mostly populated by sheep...
I'm trying to photograph Hadrian's Wall, the northern limit of the Roman empire. I've seen lots of terrific pix... unfortunately none of them are mine. The light's been rather bland, or just plain dull, and for a lot of its length it's just a wall across the fields. But I'll keep going back, keep exploring and hope for some dramatic light. In the meantime this is milecastle 42...
Happened to look behind me and saw the dog taking a quick nap on the chair. Taken with a Sony A200.
2nd time I've attempted this, turned out better than last time but still not what I'm looking for.
Great colour, Steamie, but the frond, dangling downwards, looks kinda 'disconnected'. Maybe it would work if you could have the greenery rising up from the bottom of the pic - then bending over with the droplet - rather than hanging down from the top. Just a thought...
