mynah Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Found the same when I got out my "amazing" close-ups taken with my SLR and macro lens a few years ago, and discovered they look pretty ordinary now, compared to the ones I take with my tiny digital Sony Cybershot. (It's probably just that no-one else I knew at the time was taking close-ups then...) Great pics, Ganoderma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganoderma Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 i have to admit, there is a certain satisfaction when i take pics with my old point and shoot nikon, knowing that i dont need to fuss with anything...turn to macro, press big button....im kind of embarrassed that my photos 5 years ago with that camera are better quality than my new slr....but i dont think its an equipment problem lol i went to go lens shopping in town today and found out the lens i was wanting is about $1200....guess i can be happy with what i got now lol....stuff is crazy expensive!

Turtle Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Who is Georgia O'Keefe? great corn shot!!!! No other halloween plant shots? unfortunately halloween isn't celebrated much at all here...so no pumpkins or cool stuff. The corn was a pleasant surprise as I thought that I planted too late & would get no harvest. I did get some Jack-O'-Lantern shots but nothing macro of them. Given that I read Americans would spend 4.77 Billion on Halloween I think it's unfortunate that we 'celebrate' it here. :cup: Anyway, the above photo of yours is the one that reminded me of Georgia O'Keefe. She was an American painter married to the famous photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and she did a lot of flower paintings with erotic overtones. :Exclamati ;) Here's a link: >> Google Image Result for http://humanflowerproject.com/images/uploads/okeefe-canna.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedars Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 ok, a bit off topic because these are not my photos, not all plants, and they are microscopic. Still wonderful viewing. Nikon Small World - Gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
