Thinking of getting one once i cleaned my lens lol

Spam one more from thai

i also want spam... baru fresh from edit, not fresh from memory card

Noooo, got a not bad shot of a baby jumping spider hiding behind a leaf looking at me, eyes in focus, then realize I didn't have my memory card slotted in =.=''

First world problems... Even the second card slot not loaded?

Yep, removed them all the last time I used them =.=

btw, finally free enough to go out and try my 105 macro and raynox 250.. all i can say is, with raynox on, I cant even find the target. =.='' have to practice more

Im using DELL el cheepo monitor...

I shooting raw, and didnt apply any sharpening in my processes at all...

thing is on my computer already feel over sharp... then to flikr even more absurd .. I wonder if its the resize algorithm on CS6 .. . last time on CS5 didnt 'feel' the sharpness while resize

When you resize in PS, did you straight resize it from high resolution (lets say 20mp?) to low resolution (lets say 3mp)? if you do so, it might introduce artifacts to the image. But if you resize "gently", for example from 20mp to 10mp, then to 5mp, then the image wont really get any artifacts.

maybe thats why. went from 6016px to 1200px.. HmmMm Hmmm...

I'm not sure about the effect of Raynox with 105. 105 is a long macro lens, and Raynox is an adapter to help you gain the focus at close distance. Same case when I was using extension tube. Hence, I think you need to get your lens closer to your subject than normally you'll do with 105 alone.

Yea, working distance really reduced a lot, plus finding the target on the viewfinder is tough as the depth of field is soo small, working at more than 2x magnification is not easy =.= .. will try to work around with this, shooting without raynox is easy though

yeap, that's the reason.

i don't really prefer to resize my images in PS as this problem will occur. perhaps you should export using LR in a smaller size to prevent the artifacts?

you can start by focusing further first while looking for your subject, then get closer and slowly adjust the focusing to nearer.

the same issue appears for telephoto user, sometimes when you are shooting at 300mm or further, you can't locate your subject if the focusing isn't lock yet.

what was the setting in your PS, do you got bother this setting for image resizing?

I use LR mainly as a catalog for selecting and basic tuning. Then drop into PS for cleanup. then resize for web.


i usually set to AUTO >_<

that is no auto la lol, you use CTRL + R when resizing image normally top bar will show which engine to resize one, or if you use image > resize... there got ask you for that, i think maybe you silap change to other option or what...

I dont know how you resize but for me its COMMAND+ALT+I and I leave the RESAMPLE IMAGE on AUTOMATIC

oh then should be no problem
i also set to automatic, only when do pixel art i need change to hard edge for enlarge things
well that one is for doing digital artwork already

Wah, pretty girl
Love her pose!
Too bad the lighting of the venue is pretty harsh

The lighting in this photo also quite harsh from above T____T
Usually the shadows can be avoided by asking the model to take one step forward or backward As long as not under the light directly should result in less shadows hmmm

Just my 2 cents la Sometimes cannot too bossy and order the model around too much I suppose XD

I feel you bro
Nvm la, keep trying. As long as you go out and shoot, there will always be better photos than the last~
I often forget to turn on my flash as well
