Yeah, but I have gear to do pretty much any genre of photography.

and here.
I ought to get a shot of me holding the thing for scale, and also that way I can project my sense of virility onto my photo gear.
These were taken with my old Olympus E10 with the on-camera flash, nothing fancy.

here is my extremely quick photochop of it for my wallpaper if anyone else wants to use it (1280x1024)Originally posted by: GtPrOjEcTX
awesome. that'll do just fine...I'll be resizing it and such to 1280x1024 anyways for my wallpaper.Originally posted by: lirion
Here. This is still reduced quite a bit. I like this shot better, but if you wanted it the other way for a desktop or something I can see what I can do. I don't have a big version of it handy, I'd have to go looking for it, and it might take a whileOriginally posted by: lirion
I actually found a better shot of it that had been hiding somewhere. Give me a minute, I'm on 24K dialup hereOriginally posted by: GtPrOjEcTX
could you post the higher res shot of the tree frog?![]()

Didn't like the grey I seeOriginally posted by: lirionI don't care about it, but just so you know that's a no-no. Redistributing pictures is against copyrights. I'm cool with it, I just don't want you to get in trouble somewhere elseI messed with it some, I think this one is a little better. Enjoy!

.
but when you post it on a public forum it doesn't it become public domain? I'm confused.

How do you like it? The widest lens I have is a 24mm f/1.4, which isn't really all that wide on my D60. I don't do a whole lot of wide angle stuff though. The only time I've really wanted anything wider is around the house, inside when I can't back up anymore.

thanks for clearing that up then, and I apologize for infringing on your work...I would take the link down but since you said you didn't mind, I'll leave it.Originally posted by: lirion

As soon as you press the shutter button you have copyright, until you sign it over to someone else. Simply displaying a photo in public doesn't release it to public domain. For instance if you exhibit a photo in a public gallery someone couldn't legally come in with a camera, snap a picture of your picture, and start selling it. Same thing with publishing a photo in a book or magazine. Unless a photo appears with a notice explicitly stating that copyrights have been waived, it never enters public domain until copyrights expire.
I'm glad you like your new lens Lucky! What camera are you using it on?

what i never understood is how u get the background to be pitch black like that in the pictures? can u explain that..
In macro photography depth of field is very shallow. To maximize this very small apertures are used. It's not uncommon for me to use f/64 for an extreme closeup. Because of this very little ambient light is evident in the photograph, but the subject is lit by the flash. This give the effect of a very dark or black background with the subject properly exposed. Not everyone is a fan of this effect, but I think it has its uses.
Awesome!! Props to RossMAN for helping you with a website.Originally posted by: lirion

Okay, here's a few I haven't posted on here yet. I've been experimenting with backlighting. With this shot I used the D60 with MP-E 65mm macro lens and my twin flash, but I handheld one of the flash heads behind the fungi for backlighting. In this one I used the same setup, except that I mounted a separate 550EX flash on a tiny tripod I bought just for this purpose, and put it behind and below the flower. My MT-24EX macro twin flash can control other Canon flash units wirelessly so I didn't have to use any cables or anything. In this shot I used my 180mm L f/3.5 macro lens along with a wireless transmitter to control two 550EX flashes, one on my little tripod above and behind the mushrooms, and the other on the ground in front of them. I really like the effect this produces on still subjects. It really makes them come alive so to speak.

I really like the fungus cups picture!! It looks like an indian campsite setting, or something.. little baskets full of bread. It's awesome!
