65 Jan 20 Comment Just another suggestion. The latest technique is focus stacking. You need a tripod and a camera with the ability to focus manually. If You might also want to use the smallest possible aperture. (too small, and you will distortion.) One of my friends gets excellent results with a point & shoot. See Charlie's explanation above. Your photographic goals and budget will determine your equipment.

My personal goal, is to have fun. 		Jan 23rd

65 Jan 20 Reply Charlie, a lot of the work I've seen with natural subjects tends to have a textured look with a mild grunge. But there is little funny about the sky. Jan 23rd
65 Jan 20 Comment Hi Lynn,
The is a lot to like in your image. The range of tonality blends beautifully with the natural beauty of the lines and curves. At first glance I thought here might be too much green on the left, but after several looks, I think the subtlety of tonal the green total range adds a pleasant and natural look.

You have inspired me to at experiment with what I would call close up work, which technically might not be called macro work. 		Jan 23rd
65 Jan 20 Reply The images were taken abut six years apart. The original was my wife and our friend, trying to plan which exhibits I wanted to see. The image of the bonobo chimps studying, reminded me of the museum image. To me the common theme was a conference, or mutual study. Jan 23rd
65 Jan 20 Reply Hi Charlie,
Your comments are right on. Thank you for your observations. They have actually restarted my head working, for the first time in a long time.
As I explained to Vinod, one of the important lessons I learned, is look around and select the image that comes closest to the image you like best from the scene. It is not unlikely that there may be more than one image in one shot. Similarly, one can find related images from two different scenes.

Although I understand that noise reduction is some form of color blurring, It has only been within the last two years I am still trying to understand how, and when to use it. 		Jan 23rd
65 Jan 20 Reply Hi Vinod,
Thanks for your comment. While I don't remember most of my images, I recall being so excited about the bee, that I didn't realize there was more to the image than just the bee. I was even more excited when someone started tickling his tail, to change his position. While that is not an excuse, the lesson I should take away is look at the whole image. 		Jan 22nd
