I don't know how happy I am with the results. These are all unfiltered, untweaked shots. The focus is a bit iffy on some, and the camera seems a little vulnerable to my horrible shaky hands. First proper camera, will take me a while to get used to it!
Still some lovely colours in the garden!

Excellent, especially for your first attempts with the new gear! I don't think you are having an issue with shaking so much as not controlling which element of the shot you are actually focusing on. For example the second shot with the hoverfly on the flower has the focus great on the flower, but not on the fly. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThese are great Simon. I'm not that great at critiquing as my knowledge of settings and the tech side in photography is limited, but I know what I like and I like these a lot. Thanks for id'ing my grebe, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Simon. I would guess the camera is auto focus which can make focus hit and miss. I have the same problem with the Nikon. Of course when you are that close the depth of field is shallow so some of each shot will be out of focus. Those are great. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and lovely colours indeed, especially the pink ones! :)
ReplyDeleteOh well done-it does take time to get used to proper cameras-but you will get there. I too find it very difficult to get the macro focus right-a slight movement by either the subject or the camera holder will shift things.
ReplyDeleteWell done Si - some of the shots are amazing - the apples, that bee - and the colours are so bright too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots - and they will get better! Can't wait to see more when you are back from your travels x
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Simon. Fine colours too!
