I'm a newbie at this... Would welcome all constructive criticism from sifus around...
 I'm currently using an Olympus SP-700.. Bought in February, and hardly ever fiddled with it's extra functions until yesterday..  Anyway, here it goes.... Grasshopper Humping  - A pair of grasshopper mating on top of my gf's Myvi, right on it's antenna.. This post has been edited by zephyr: Jan 16 2007, 09:26 PM |

QUOTE(cyberkid @ Jul 22 2006, 05:25 PM) i think the pics r blur I think so too.. Could it be the effect of resizing in ImageShack? It looks better when I view them through ACDC though... Any advise? Or could it be my photography technique is wrong? |

Normally my photos would turn out not sharp enough for my liking... my only advise..get urself a dslr & macro lens. sharp&"bokeh" is very important in macro/close up shooting. your SP-700 cant give u enough of tis 2.But you can try play2 with your SP-700 to get a nicer result. and one more important thing, try to shoot from different angle. just my 2 cents. |

Get yourself a mini tripod and a remote or cable that helps you trigger the shutter without moving or shaking the cam. If you dont want to invest in a DSLR, there's another option, there's a compact cam that i heard last time that enables you to do those 1cm super close up macro. I forgot the model but its good for me imo  |
