Camera Labs

Hi All,

You may have seen my thread about concerns with my Camera settings, so I spent about half an hour cleaning my Lenses and then went out in the garden to see what I could find.

I am definitely happier with these results than I had been previously although I am still a little concerned that there may be a lack of contrast (which can obviously be added in Lightroom as I have started shooting in RAW - these images however are straight off the camera no PP at all as I was hoping for some feedback on the out of camera results and to see if you think I am worried unnecessarily).








This last image was shot using -2 EC to allow for the backlight

Looking at this last pic close up I think I just missed a spider peering his head over the edge of the upper left petal lol

yip, Mark that is the spider that sat down besider, all right. I love springtime..and these flowers are part of the reason why..beautiful colors, fabu detail..wonderful stuff. If Macro is supposed to look like a bee comin' in for a landing, then you sure got this right..
I am no expert, for sure, but I think these look super right out of the camera..I would be thrilled to have to down load these..
