From today's SEQ mini meet photographic tour.

I had the pleasure of trying Kevin's Nikkor 200mm Micro and I gotta say

I WANT ONE

The bee is my favourite here, followed by the moth and the purple trumpet. But it was a pleasure viewing all of them!

Great pics,

I've got to say the 200mm is one fine lens

Who said the 200/f4 is not a lens?

I like the last one personally but I would only suggest adjusting the curves a bit to brighten the capture, I had a quick play and result as below......hope you don't mind Slider May be a bit oversaturated after I adjusted...

It looks like a great lens

dingo, it looks heaps better now.

this area is something of which I know very little.
wonder what you actually did to this?

Steve

Don't mind at all Dingo. Definately an improvement. I need to spend more time experimenting in PS

avkomp-I just went into curve adjustments, options and selected one of the algorithms until it looked pleaseing thenplayed with the actual curve but very very slightly.

If you have a good image to work with (as the case in this capture) you don't have to do much at all.

Mark they are eye catching images full of colour and life. What a lens? Close to the top of my hit list
Love all the images but #2 for its sublteness and pastel hues (it also reminds me of some of Kevin's work and style) and the last one for the way it juxtaposition to the wire. Beautiful colours. By way of a small suggestion for #2 the little bit of petal in the top right could be softened a little more to make it less eye catching and therefore distracting somewhat from the subject.
On a side issue how are you getting the images to appear or do you use another host apart from pixspot?
cheers

Really like the soft, abstract nature of the second one. You'd have fun with that lens, great shots...

Mark - stunning photos !!! The last one is a skipper - the splendid ochre - Trapezites symmomus. Lives on a wide array of Lomandras Beautiful

Marco the host that we use (and it is free) is Photobucket. Try it.

Nice images! Big, bold and in your face. The simplicity of the images means they have to speak for themselves and they do that easiliy. You need to get them printed and framed to complete the photographic cycle.

Thanks Marco, it is very nice lens (I still have it in my bag for a while on loan so more fun to come).

As OnePutt has already posted we use Photobucket. There is a free service which is pretty good but I subscribed for about $25.00 a year which gives me heaps of space and bandwidth. I just checked my figures and I have 85mb of images residing there and my bandwidth usage is around 900mb for the month. Great service

Thanks Mudder, I am about to head outside for another play with it

Thanks Rel. And thanks to Nicole for pointing out to me. Very observant

Thanks Matt. Just printed the first and the colours have come out a treat. I took a few similar shots but different colours. Mind end up with a nice set out of them
