mipevo6 (Martin)s Oktoberfest thread

Superb October Bee Martin...love the detail :thumbs:
 
My 100mm shot for the week...

I don't generally shoot flash but wanted to try...

Nice one Martin :thumbs:

Maybe a tad more dof, but that`s just a subjective thing ;)
 
I really like that bushy park photo. Looks a little lop-sided to me though?

Nice abstract Martin. I think it's a cookie cutter for doggie shaped snacks :D

Nope.... not a blind...

Not surprised you like a bit of dogging... hope you get a good shot or two..... :naughty:
 
funny you should say that martin... i DID get one and in the right position too!!! .. :thumbs:

..so its not a blind or screen.....nor inside the control panel on 747 cockpit autopilot ... this is a toughy... wonder if thats why they call them abstracts...

can we repost this in the 'what is it' thread... they always come up with the answers..
 
I like the flowers, good Dof and nice dark background.............wonder what it would look like with the stem cloned out?
 
Abstract would be ideal for the 'what is it' thread :) I'm sure it is some kind of colander or kitchen implement or mad gardening accessory.

Love both the phone box shots.

I love the flower shot, Martin. The colours are gorgeous and I think the DOF is spot on.

I don't have a clue what the absract is.

Interesting idea... I wondered if it would look unreal / floating / not grounded... ? anybody got any thoughts?

..no dave.. uncle kev's special cooking sherry is only for those of a certain palette...you know the saying 'a moment on the lips...a night in a strange reality where hedgehogs and badgers move like jagger...' :gag:

Are you bringing special cooking sherry to the Christmas TP meet? Might improve my photos...... :)

it only effects the lenses in your head dave... not in your hand :naughty:

...and who says i'm a definite :suspect: .. has tezz been having loose lips again..?
 
Stag with the Billy Bob teeth is a cracker Martin... who say's macro lenses are only for macro shots.

I'm not a flora and fauna man, but all 3 of those are pretty special. I was going to go for the DOF in #2 as a fave, but i really can't decide :thumbs:
