G'day All. Thanks to all for the comments on my first PESO.
Kenneth. The leaves on the LRH side. I tried to move to the left, but I lost the background. I couldn't break them off due to the fact that the missus would have kicked my arse. Jack. The sharpness was straight out of the *ist Ds on default settings 6Mpixel Jepg. Paul. Thanks. The colour was what caught my eye. Tim. The light was coming from the right at about 3 O'clock. Bruce. You're right of course. A lower angle may have improved the overall image, including looking directly into the flower. I only took one exposure of the flower. Must get used to having a "DELETE" button on a camera, thus allowing more goes to get it right unlike film :-) Frank. Thanks heaps. Rod. You must be the King of lateral thinking. I would never have thought of Styrofoam as a reflector. In hind sight, this would have been the duck guts, rather than using the pop-up flash. I intended to reshoot it this afternoon, using the suggestions from the list. However we are in the middle of a severe thunderstorm with hail the size of tennis balls. Once again, Thanks to all who responded. Hooroo. Regards, Trevor. Grafton, Australia -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: PESO: Red Native G'day All. Well, this is my very first PESO. I was out this afternoon getting some trigger time with the *ist Ds. I really liked the look of this Red Native against the bark of the Spotted Gum (Eucalyptus Maculata) as a back drop. I welcome all comments on this Image. I am eager to learn. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3829516 Thanks. Hooroo. Regards, Trevor. Grafton. Australia
