photos from Macro outing

[luenny]

Oh yeah, you're right. There's one small one at the leg of the butterfly. 3 bugs in 1 shot. Execellent!

Ok, I know my shots are lousy, but what do you guys think of this? I kinda like the composition but the ants could be sharper.

first off, the background is abit too dark for my liking and also the leaf behind distract the attention. Will be nice if the background has a smooth pastal color

Simon, nice macro shots! And images are super sharp!

soon? now rainy season. My kind of macro is different from fish photography :P

hahahaha !
did u introduced them your special powder ????
or did u just pee ?

Actually for 5, I think tail chopped is ok .

chops are ok however in No5. the cropped was rather awkward cos the head is in the centre but its too small to catch any attention.

In Simons later pixs, the crop was much better in terms of composition as the eyes or heads were much bigger to dominate the whole pix.

birders are extremely fussy

Actually I think if the background is not dark, the whole leaf and ants won't stand out that much. But I do agree that the leaf behind is a bit distracting. Must remember to look at the background more next time.

I agree with Mervin on this one. Plus the fact that you only clip off a small part of the wing, which could well be in the photo if you shift the subject up a bit. Kind of gives the feeling that it's done accidentally. No offense hor.

Simon,
I really liked your close-ups shots. Personally I liked to shoot close-up shots too, see the detail of the face.
Got this photo taken at the recent discus competition.
Fuji S6500fd f5, 1/60, ISO200. On board flash

Special Powder? You mean the belachan powder? Works damm well for certain butts...as far as my memory serve me.

Ya, peeing works too...

Richard,
Nice shot. Too bad the bottom of the tank actually cut of the fish - cannot see the body shape.

Anyway, just for fun, I took this photo in the same trip. Saw this when I was trying to focus on the subject and decided to take one out of focus one instead.

Thank you guys for the support, due to the monsoon season there isn't much subject available. If you guys are keen again, I shall organise another with a better array of subjects, or you guys can join me in a butterfly trek/hunt at macritchie



and I even got a chance to add another species to my collection #208

Hi Simon

I am trying to learn how to do borders like yours. Do you increase the canvas size and add text?

Also, is it possible to batch all the pics with borders? rather than individual pic (provided all the info is the same)

Jeffrey

like I told KF and Richard, the border and the data are extracted using a script. I still go through each and every photo for post processing before running the script. However, I have wrote the code such that information like location, species are keyed in manually. but if you have a common information, all you need to do is add it in. Size of border, text and font can be change. As for batch processing, yes it can be done. Just add the action in the batch options

drop me an email with yr email and I can email you guys the script
