WOW! Jomike, they are amazing! I especially love the first one, the detail on the eyes are brilliant. I love wild captures like this. Definately a case of "I wish I'd take that!"

Excellent shot, Jomike. Joking aside, I do prefer insects in their natural environment.

LOL!!! :lol: Reminds me that I once rescued a drowning bee from the toilet. :cuckoo: When I went back, it was back in there again!! LMAO!!!! I've always wondered how people have captured such good shots of insects. Fortunatley, I mostly have no morals when it comes to crawling things...

Thanks everyone, you've all really helped me. Thanks for the links, RobertP. The explaination about RAW really helped me, and also made me realise that jpeg is still the best thing for me to use for 99% of my work. The links to the editing suites is useful. Thanks for the link to the...

I am still new to photography (since January this year), and was completely baffled by RAW. This has really helped me understand a little bit more.

I haven't been on here for a while, sorry for the absence. :) Plus I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm a bit stuck. I have been photographing since January, and want to play around a bit more. A lot of photographers seem to love using RAW as a format, but I just can't seem to...

They're not perfect, but great for the first few tries, IMO.

They're brilliant. Thanks for sharing. :)

Well, I'm now just waiting for my Tokina to arrive. Can't wait!!

Thanks everyone. I've bought the Tokina ATX PRO D 100mm f2.8 Lens. I am really chuffed as it retails at £500 on Amazon, and I got it for £245 on Ebay! It's brand new and un-used. It's got some great reviews and I've seen some example photographs on Flickr, which are fantastic! So...

Thanks everyone. I'm watching a VG second-hand one at the moment on ebay, Pandy. :)

Thanks for the advice. Gives me some ideas.

I bought my first DSLR in January, and am really enjoying the results. However, I would love to start taking macro photos of flowers and insects. My budget won't stretch to something that is all-singing, all-dancing, but I want do want something that is good at it's price. These are the two...

Golden Acre Park is quite nice. Free entry and free parking and there is a lot of wildlife; duck, bird, geese,ducks and flowers to photograph. Tropical World in Leeds is also very good. I went there recently, but I didn't have my camera with me, and plan to go again. There are some lovely...

No worries, Blondie! I was very short of inspiration those weeks. The spotty photo I really like, it was just of a dress at a weird angle - hence style. I agree, the record was a bit naff, actually!! :bonk::cuckoo: Have been VERY busy recently, with shifts/nights and haven't had a chance...
