MarkB1 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Yard Bugs [7/3] Nice shots but when there are so many none get the attention they require. It's a fast paced medium. Mark Jul 05, 2009 at 03:56 AM

Mark Thanks, Mark. I never really understood that thought process though...when I click on a thread whether its a set of one or two images or twenty I still see each image for what it is. In fact the more the merrier, I like to see a variety of subjects. I guess that's just me Anyway, I shoot day to day and post what I feel are interesting shots. Rather than splitting them up into three or four threads I post them in one--one day, one thread. For that reason, I try to keep image numbers down to one or two per subject.

Exposure wise I seem to have trouble with a lot of smaller subjects, specifically hoverflies and the like in low(er) light. Seems I either get an overexposure on the lights/white's or underexposure on the dark's/blacks. I have no idea how to rectify the situation but I'm working on figuring it out.

For me it's a matter of time spent on the computer, I am already at the limit of what's good for me before fried brain sets in. Another consideration is feedback, smaller numbers are more easily considered in depth. It's a question of personal resource management. Mark Jul 05, 2009 at 04:24 AM

LordV Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Yard Bugs [7/3] Lovely series of shots. Light a little harsh in some esp like the conopid fly shots- they are so weird looking. Perhaps a few too many pics- I tend to stick to 8 shots max as that's a limit on some forums. Brian V. Jul 05, 2009 at 05:44 AM

I wish I had another shot at the conopid fly which I found my lighting to be too harsh and the conditions a bit too breezy for my liking Jul 05, 2009 at 02:29 PM

GC5 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Yard Bugs [7/3] Is the double catchlight in 2 and 3 (for example) from a ringflash? Jul 05, 2009 at 07:38 PM

In fact the more the merrier, Well, if there are more than about three in a post I don't bother because it will take several minutes for them (very large files in this forum) to download across my dial-up. So I often don't see them at all, as with this thread. I've just edited this reply to say that it took several minutes before I could read the original. This thread is utterly indigestible for a dial-up connection. Jul 06, 2009 at 02:38 PM

This thread is utterly indigestible for a dial-up connection. Dial up...what's that? Kidding aside I don't post threads to accommodate dial up connections because I honestly don't think of it--I think it's fair to say a good majority have a quicker connection. I do apologize if I've inconvenienced you, though. Thanks for the comments on my work. Jul 06, 2009 at 07:23 PM
