nice angles and all.

only issue is

photo #1 - is that the best side of those oranges? choose a nicer specimen.
photo #5 - background issue. those holes in the the leaf spoil the photo.

em~~ S3 IS not bad hor~~ color wise very satisfied hehe
the sun set ~ color very zheng ~~ just that it giv people feelings like not so accurate of position ~ hem gam ba teh gam ba teh

thanks ,yea s3 is is not that bad though its a good cam to, i see you are using Panasonic Fz7, not bad though my uncle has one , played with it

how can u handle in low light to take very good "sunset" picture ? I'm using S3 IS too but only can take good picture when the light is enough

i use manual mode,and make sure ur hand is very steady

How does your DIY diffuser looks like?

of course, i also use manual mode to take pic in low light. But i can not make it as smooth as your pic even in ISO 100 with tripod T_T

for the sunset photo's i used iso 800 , without tripod, using viewfinder.

nothing wrong with the pictures, but can tighten up the composition by shooting the same subject with different angles.. spend time with them...

o thanks for the info

what do u think of these 3 pics below.not photoshop at all.Original

hmm, try to isolate a few flowers instead of frame the whole bunch.. the angles can be tighten up by using the rule of third if u're not giving a macro impression... try to up the exposure a bit more as it seems quite underexposed..

rule of third, i felt only his 3rd florwer picture didn't adhere to that.
its good having the sense of space, but i feel on top, all dark background no meaning..

the flower shots could use some positioning.

the sunset shots were great.

damn.. I didnt know you were into Photography!

nice shots.

hi there,
i like the angles of the shots but the close-ups are somewhat a lil soft...or maybe its just my eyes...

thanks , for the tip

thx

still newbie

here's some shot of flowers, what do you guys think?
