'purple' inflorescence>>3353712I like this. It'd be nice for wall art I think. I'd probably add some contrast to both rainbows to bring them out a bit more.
>>3353889The shapes in this are, "something," but it isn't quite there. Not sure what is missing. It is interesting enough to ponder.
>>3353904Stock photo quality. lol Needs a narrower aperture to increase the DOF size for that shot.
>>3353928Not bad, but not being centered or rule or thirds is the only thing detracting from the lines and shapes I think. It'd be way better if you had a shift capable lens to fix the perspective and make the building sides straight. It can be done in post, but it is always cooler to do it in person.
>>3353982I like this one. The bokeh does it justice I think. Hard to tell from the image, but it may be Hemitrichia calyculata.
>>3353993>Olympus TG4I think the DOF is a bit too thin for that insect. Had you stood back a bit more the DOF would be wider and you could have had the wings and legs in the DOF, instead of just the legs. Of course, if that camera happens to have an aperture setting, that would have been better to use. Probably f/11-f/16 would do it, but most P&S cameras I've used don't allow that sort of change.
>porchlight Thanks for reminding me to setup an insect catcher for macro stuff before winter sets in.
>>3353994>this is getting ridiculous.)Ah, it can be fun.
>>3353996The perspective is a bit odd, even when rotated a few times, but that orientation is best. It might make a good wall poster.
>>3353998>Cetonia aurataNice catch. We don't get those here, but we have Cotinis nitida that looks similar, just less iridescent. We also have Chrysochus auratus which are stuningly iridescent. I was hoping to catch one this season, but no luck yet.
>>3354038Needs exposure bracketing.
