Thank you for the comments, Brian!

Your photos are what got me most interested in macro stuff.

Cheers!

Great shots Jeff. I like them all, although the lowest water droplet on the last rose is a bit distracting from an otherwise excellent shot. When I stole your idea for the red rose , I found it difficult to control the pink fringing on the top edges (most exposed to the light), but you did a great job of minimizing that effect here....did you use the ring light? And if so, is it a flash, or an LED continuous?

Cheer Greg - I am glad that you dig em! Interesting about the droplet as so far most people have liked the extra little nuance. But I am all about seeing both sides of the coin, so thanks for your perspective!

Man, I chose the wrong color roses - that is for sure! I had the same fringe issues as you describe (even though it wasn't TOO badly overexposed) and had to do some low-opacity (read: annoying as all hell) clone work to try to reduce the problem areas.

I did use the ring light! It's a Yongnuo ring flash and I've been super happy with it so far. The Canon may have some more features (I don't rightly know as I've never used it), but the Yonger clocks in at 1/5 the price and produces some nice, even light. Check out the spider pic I posted last week and you can see the really cool catchlights it produces as well!

Cheers,

Jeff

Thank you, Eric!

I seriously doubt someone of your caliber failed miserably.

I need professional Help to stop and argument from getting out of hand

I am under the impression that 100 ISO - 1600 ISO is a four f-stop difference

I am being told I am an idiot - that range is +16 - F-stop difference.
Can someone explain to my (idiot) Understanding?

Lovely images although they have me wondering where abstract begins when it is fairly clear what the subjects are.

Thanks Harold! Perhaps I'm applying abstract a little loosely here, but compared to a standard portrait of a flower I would say that they are approaching the mark.

Thank you, Ron! Not going to lie, I love that you dig the B&W shots. I tend to gravitate more towards them and most people prefer color.

I also normally prefer color Jeff, but the lack of color in those two shots puts the emphasis on the forms and the play of light, and that works very well for those two shots ~ Ron
