nice one thats good technique, n yeah Canon woulnt let you down. Its great you bought a tripod, it makes it so much easier.
thank you so much!! that's quite a compliment from someone who obviously knows their way around a camera.Thanks for sharing those mellowkitty, those are really quite something. Some of those shots look like the plant is made out of glass or something, very beautiful trich shots! And That shot you are very fond of I think is an absolute belter, those pics are up there with the very best I have seen so far!
Primarily I got into these cameras for filming, alot of it crosses over dirrectly to photography but I too am kind of learning the ropes as far as taking pictures goes. I found that photographing wildlife, particuarly birds, has helped me learn more quickly. No shame in filling up the memory card, its a good way to learn.thank you so much!! that's quite a compliment from someone who obviously knows their way around a camera.
i have to admit what i know about technique is negligible; i'm a student of the "fill the damn sd card and hope for the best" school. (haven't even TOUCHED the aperture setting on custom mode..... scared... )
i'm still experimenting with lighting; i'm lucky enough to have hps, mh and t5 to fiddle around with (the middle shot is under an hps with t5 sidelighting).... i find that the WHITE-white of the t5s gives that crispness that makes the trichs look like water droplets.
pretty sure the canon helps; even though it's a point-and-shoot. (the macro setting doesn't work on 'foliage' mode.... what kind of utter BS is that??)
see, there you go, throwing around scary terms againYou will have to alter the ISO and shutter speed to compensate as you go but. You will see how you can expose larger amounts of detail as you turn the apperture up.
Oh, oh! Photography talk! Can I join?see, there you go, throwing around scary terms again
(indeed, next time i have something pretty to take pics of, i'll definitely try it out. you may be getting your brain picked when it happens )
my buddy at quantum claims that the e-ballasts don't "stripe".... interesting, because i've never noticed striping in my shots (with 3 different cameras), but i have a friend who's done copious amounts of pot photography all over the world who would very much disagree. i'm wondering if the newer digis compensate for the electronic resonance (or whatever it is that causes the striping), and maybe that's why i've never seen it in my own shots. on my point and shoot, the "beach" setting seems to filter out a lot of the yellow and orange.... makes a full-hps-orange room look somewhat normal.
You get pretty nice detail on that , sister. What's your hardware?girly shot for the day: (the flashlight made a heart in the corner of the room and the shadows looked so cool i had to snap some)
some bubble:
i'm terribly fond of this shot.....
the crops that came from it:
and then i figured out that the t5's take a much nicer pic
which makes for crisper crops:
(btw, i love photography threads. pretty much everything i know about photographing plants comes from them.)
you don't remember?You get pretty nice detail on that , sister. What's your hardware?
I did? I must have blacked out again. Lol.you don't remember?
it's the canon elph series you talked me into.
occupational hazard much?I did? I must have blacked out again. Lol.
Why, you're a moderator. You shouldn't be hijacking this person's thread with a hooligan like me!occupational hazard much?
post some pics then.Why, you're a moderator. You shouldn't be hijacking this person's thread with a hooligan like me!
I'm secretly in love with you, Mellokitty... oh, wait. I already used that one.post some pics then.
*not-my-section hipbump*
woo hoo! individual trichomes! (isn't it so exciting??)Got these last night getting a little better using the cam.
you know, this is sort of making me want to play around with the fisheye setting some more......I took this with a 30X jewlers scope and a crappy mobile phone camera, give it a try!
