fantastic roses!Originally Posted by Wesley's Mom
Just wanted to share a few photos I took the other day of the roses my husband got me for Valentine's Day!
Thank you!! I have been practicing a lot trying to get some great shots. I just sat there for a while taking TONS of photos until I got some that I really liked.Originally Posted by mistressotdark

Well, you did a great job!! Yeah, it's hard to take night shots without a tripod!!Originally Posted by Isabel
Its just a Sony H9 with a 15x zoom. I used a tripod to keep the camera still. It was so cold and I couldn't take off my gloves for very long to adjust the settings, so I just set it to aperature priority and used my remote to take the shots.
What did you use for those? I've been looking at macro lenses for my 35mm canon... I love macro photos!Originally Posted by flisssweetpea
I love the colours on this next one - the background colour behind the seed head is the sky outside our window. This is my new desktop picture on the laptop. On the +4 diopter there is a bit of vignetting, but nothing that a bit of cropping won't sort out.
Wow! Those look amazing! DH tried to use our canon powershot at something like 16x zoom but he didn't have/use out tripod (I might have had it with me) so it was very blurry... then he sneezed taking one!Originally Posted by Isabel

I've found a tripod is absolutely necessary to eliminate blur. Plus, using a remote shutter release (the H9 comes with a remote) or even using the self timer to trigger the shutter is helpful. Even a little jiggle from a finger pushing the shutter button can cause a big blur.Originally Posted by twstychik

I have a Nikon D80 with a 18-135mm lens. I love macro photography, but opted to go for one lens that would do most of what I wanted to do and then added a Hoya +4 diopter filter onto the end of the lens - that magnifies the image 4 x.Originally Posted by twstychik

I want to do pictures for weddings. I have done just one wedding so far. I was pretty happy with how they came out and the couple loved them. I have always loved photography.Originally Posted by LaRussa
Wonderful pics, ever thought of a career in photography??
I have a Nikon D80 as well. Aren't they fabulous cameras?? I really need to get some new lenses and filters.Originally Posted by flisssweetpea

I am sure that the image quality would be better with a good quality macro lens, but I want something that means I can take one lens with me when we travel. Weight is such an issue with carry on luggage in Europe on planes, that I need to keep it to a minimum as I certainly don't want to put photographic equipment in the hold luggage.
I'm only just getting to know mine and so far I think it's fabulous! I've had a really busy time at work since Christmas (working every evening and weekend) and this is the first time I've been able to really take some time with the camera.Originally Posted by Wesley's Mom

just Xs for me, tooOriginally Posted by Isabel
Here's a few photos I took of the luanr eclipse last week. My batteries died just minutes before totality(it was -3 F and I stood out for an hour - I'm sure that had something to do with it).
Awesome pictures!Originally Posted by Isabel
