The sharpness is unreal. Great pic!

Day 3 - Light

Cool shot! Like the red. Did you use the 50mm by itself or add something to it? It seems you got closer than I can get with mine - unless you cropped...

Nice angle, good focus.

I would have included more of the keys and less of the side, it kind of slices the pic in half, and the bottom isn't so interesting. Did you take this at high iso and small aperture? Looks noisy.

Nice DOF, composition, orientation, and good job keeping the subject still! Thankfully he didn't have a cold...:-)

Great shot - detail, focus, DOF. I think I would have shot it horizontal though.

Cool - you could use these for lens fine-tuning.

Nice shot - great DOF, I think it would have been better in a portrait orientation given the direction of the lines.

Great shots - I love this with the same color background - and really sharp!

Macro Day 3: Bubbling Up

Hi all - thanks for the nice comments!

re brightness: I tried several different lighting effects and would always end-up with a bad hotspot somewhere, so low-light long-exposure it had to be.

re what it is: it's a little glass egg-shaped decorative thing, about 5 inches tall.

re shapes and orientations: I like those a lot too - I could only get them at this angle and in this lighting. I tried flipping it 180 vertically, and the drop looked nice, but the "waves" around it looked even stranger than the drop does now. So I guess think of it as a bubble instead of a drop?
