Hi guys, I hope I'm doing this right. I've very recently gone self employed as a Nail Technician, and would like to upgrade my photography. I have attached a photograph and wonder if anyone here has any idea "how" this was taken; camera/lighting/editing/other. I notice the reflection of what...

First post guys, be gentle :) I recently received a generous gift of a pristine Nikon D7000 with an additional Nikon 50mm lens (AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1:8 G), and a MacBook Pro running Adobe CC. We were also given a great flash and tripod too. You see, as an upshot of a family crisis, my...

I see a lot of Macro pictures on insects covered in dew - the cynic inside me thinks this is a by product of using low temperatures to slow down the subject rather than all the images being taken at dawn. I strive to only take pics of living bugs in the natural habitat as it increases the...

Hello, I am a beginner and I really love photographing jewellery but I am having problems with blurring and I am wondering if some one can help me. If I photograph a brooch, for example, I focus in on it and shoot and everything is great. It comes out nice and clear. But if I photograph a...

Hello, Recently I inherited from my late mother a vast amount of vintage designer clothes/shoes/boots (Vivienne Westwood etc), handbags (Loewe etc), thermos flasks, jigsaw puzzles (all c1880-1940), perfumes textiles etc. Items such as Howard sofas and footstools are going to Christies Auction...

Hi, I have recently bought a Sigma 105mm DG OS HSM Macro for my wife to use with her Canon 760d. I also bought a Neewer TTL ring flash. Using Aperture priority mode, without the flash fitted, I have the following: 1/8th speed F9.0 ISO 800 (Settings are a bit random as I am experimenting...

Just purchased the Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Lens but seem to be having issues when using it on manual mode. It seems to work fine when using on AV, TV mode but cannot use it on manual mode

Hi, I'm in search of some advice on a lens for macro photography. I have a crop sensor (1.6x) canon and the lenses I'm looking at are the EF 100mm and the EF-S 60mm. The price of both these lenses are quite similar so I'm not to worried about that. I understand the it will depend on what exactly...

I was at a car boot sale a while back and saw what I first thought was the objective lens from a microscope in a box with a few other bits and pieces. Since this is not something you might expect to see not screwed into the end of a microscope I picked it up and realised straight away that it...

I recently bought a Rogue Flashbender, which I find excellent for macro and closeup. I tend to want a lot of DOF and I use an off-camera flash in manual mode fitted with the Flashbender. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rogue+flashbender The diffuser gives a very soft light. In this shot taken a few days...

Who's going to be first to get a photo of one of these Bees with Number Plates... :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-36578310
