Hey all, here is a couple shots I processed today.
1. The Beetle, still working on identifying this guy, they show up in the attached greenhouse on warm days.
Shot settings:
F8
1/60
ISO200
onboard flash
hand held
First and foremost I want a macro lens but for now I have to work with what I have, 18-200 IS
Don't like, DOF, little deeper to put his hind legs in focus would have been better.
Would like to see better light on the lower half of his back where his wings are folded together, I think this will bring out better detail there, getting away from using the onboard flash should help this?
2.
The Bird.
Shot settings:
F8
1/320
ISO250
This is one intense looking Goldfinch! I like that he has the look of a raptor bird in this shot, I think the shortening and blunting of his beak from the angle contributes a lot.
I'm iffy on the processing, seems a bit too sharp in places. Also iffy on the crop.
Thanks for taking a look
