Nice composition. I guess you can sharpen the image a little.

Sharpen as in using a tripod or photoshop? Btw, that picture is handheld. Somehow I'm lazy to bring a tripod around. Everyone will be staring at me if I use one. I don't like the stares.

Oh ya, can someone try capturing a long shutter photo with lens cap on? Look at this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=12720266
I'm having lots of blue/red/white pixels everywhere. I'm going to bug Canon if my unit is the only one that is so severe.

Well, I think I adapt that from the manual (I mean the write up which comes with the camera).. I read a lot bout manual settings and then seldom use Auto... Sometimes the Auto White Balance cannot be depended.. Maybe it's just me.. Must learn how to use more Aperture Priority now..



Wahhh.. My balls were shaking when I tried this... Thank god it seems perfect to me..

Ah!! Does that means that I got a defective unit?
I'm going to write to Canon and demand for a new S5 IS.

To revive this thread again..

Random Sights at the park..













And lastly.. The sun..



Comments and critics are welcomed..

Whoa. Parking good pics lol.

How much is the S3 IS in the market now?

How did you make the ants (insects) so large? Did you use close-up lens?

Nop.. Super macro and bring ur camera really near it.. but still the ants were HUGE!!!

I'm afraid of squashing the ants on my lens. Lol.. And the surface is rough; it can scratch the camera.

I've tried capturing ants in my kitchen but it turned out too small. When I get near it, it's too dark. I've tried capturing dragonflies, but it ran away before I press the shutter down.

Dragonfly?



Max zoom with a little bit of digital zoom.
Same park as Kinz.

I didn't know that you can use zoom on super macro. What mode are you in?

Ah, all of your pics is so cool. I need to find some insects too.

You can't use optical zoom under Super Macro. Even under macro, it's very limited only. I've never tried digital zoom though.

I was in AV. And nah, I didn't use zoom in super macro.
I just sat about 1 1/2 feet away from the dragonfly and zoomed in.
And maybe used digital zoom until about 16x or so.
The picture isn't cropped, in case you're wondering. It is full reso.

If you're wondering, this ain't any house ants... These ant's are really big.. I doubt you can find this kinda ants in your kitchen, or else you're in big trouble.. And I think the reason why your pix are dark is because u'r indoor.. The pix I taken were outdoor. ISO about 80 if I'm not mistaken.. And no, I didn't scratch my lens, instead I scratched the bottom part of the camera...I think I need the Lens Adapter with some UV filters to protect the camera..

tulerst, kinz_11,
Are both of you sure tht you using S3!?!?!?!
How come your photo all so sharp 1??!

It's bcause using low ISO?? MACRO?

Ofcourse they were taken from S3.. All my pictures were at ISO 80... Not all pictures were with macro.. Alot of zooming and focus.. And the ants were really big.. As big as our fingernails, maybe bigger..

And then some flowers..











Still learning..

And "My Colours" were set to Vivid.. but the last one.. With or without Vivid the flower i still DAMNNN bright..

Not really. ISO yeah, true. But not macro. Plus for me a little bit of sharpening, on the dragonfly.
Most of the shots were ISO 80 - 100.

When you use digital zoom, you are not in full resolution.
