Another Macro Attempt by egad

Another Macro Attempt

The alternate title can be I really need to buy a new tripod to replace my broken one! Macros are hard to focus, well, for me anyway. Just not a lot of time for photos today. Busy work from home day, then out to dinner then back to work. I ran outside just as the sun was setting to snap a shot of these beautiful clematis that are growing up the light post.

As an interesting note, this is my first photo that I have posted where the camera was on full manual mode. That little M on the dial scares me sometimes!
Stunning! I love the 'darkness' of this!! I also find macros hard too. I don't even own a tripod yet, so that's why I guess!! this is really lovely!

You will have the hands of a surgeon by the time you're done! Awesome work! Keep it up.

@kimmiesue @kerristephens @meggageg @slang @robinwarner @flydragon @orangecrush @maribelrivera @michelleyoung @alia_801 @cpmitchell @jobesekama @callalilla @mimosa @sabrinaromahn Thank you all so much! This was a very hard shot for me to get in focus, and while there were only a few in all that I took that were no blurry, I was at least happy that I managed to get those few. Thanks for the support and really wonderful comments.

@ladyrazzor Thanks! I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of rejects at first with manual, but it is a good way to learn. :)

GREAT SHOT! I own a couple tripods and don't use either! Haha. I should bc I know I'd get clearer photos, but oh well. This is a gorgeous shot! Love the coloring!

@kdimagery Thank you. Ha ha...well I just ordered one today, and it should be in by the end of the week. We will see if it helps at all!

@egad i am sure it will help make photos much more crisp and clear. i should try using one for macro shots, but i find myself crawling around on the ground alot, or getting low for flower shots etc.....so how does a person really use a tripod?? lol. I would think it would be hard to maneuver around. i wish i knew where my monopod went to bc i bet that would be easier to try using. You will have to let me know how you like using your new one :D

Great macro! Getting good at those! Your pictures are convincing me I need these filters.
June 5th, 2011  
Beautiful focus and color. I'll have to ask you about these Macro filters of yours.
