Great shot, thanks for sharing. Regards, Gareth.

Caught this candid shot at a recent wedding and can't work out just

what it is I like about it.

Cheers Mike, I was playing with some macro filters and just grabbed something to shoot!

I was trying out some macro filters and had a bit of fun with some

garlic and a wooden mouse.

Thanks for the comments, as a beginner it is nice to receive such nice feedback. The backdrop is an LCD TV screen, for some reason it dosen't reflect any flash and gives a really black background. I am still not happy with the shadow on the stem though.

Wild indeed, this really captures the atmosphere. Love it, well done.

Had a try at taking a close-up of a carnation. I think the shadow lets it

down though. Not easy with only on-board flash.

Makes me want to go there!

Thanks for the comment.

I set the camera to 1.8, why the details say just '1' I don't know. It was my intention to have just the one knife sharp (the rest are all blunt anyway), as to the light I was trying to get the corner of the knife to shine. There is a tiny bit of light right on the point but not quite as much as I wanted.

This is my first time shooting RAW in Black and White. I spent ages

trying to get the lighting right and in the end went with this as my

favourite. Shot taken handheld at ISO 1600 with 35mm 1.8 prime

wide open. Please give honest opinion. Thanks.

Mike, what a difference. I have got so much to learn!

Thanks for the comments, I'm new to all this and just learning. Shot was taken in a sculpture park across a pond. Gareth

Love it Love it. What a photo, fantastic. This image is captivating, the reflection draws you in.

Gareth

Does nothing for me I'm afraid.

That is a great shot, really like it.

Hi, I'm new to this site, just feeling my way. Thanks for looking, I don't mind you having a 'play', I was trying to get the sun to light up her face but it didn't quite work, also had camera set to 'more vivid' which didn't help. I am thinking of subscribing then I can post some more. Regards, Gareth.

Just wondered if there was any way I could have made this better?

Any advice welcome.
