Re: Yet another newbie at macro

Hello every body

At the age i'm at at this moment in time all my friends say that the hat suits me although it was made by SCIPPIS in Australia as i under stand it is made fron kangaroo hide/skin
and it only cost me £15 on the second day of the Great yorkshire show as i understand it they were selling at just under £40 on the first day.
But Colin C looks very distinguished in his gear and yes it suits him aswell.
As for mine i do we do not suffer with flies over here as bad as down under so that is a relief just wasps.

Sorry to Proppa for not replying to your comments you caught me daydreaming once again
I do have adobe photoshop elements 8 ( the ppor mans photoshop ) but i thought it did not need any tweeking as i call it i also have bought a few books now and one on close up plus macro
have you had a look in the album section ??When i visited York Railway Museum i took a picture of horse drawn fire cart you may like the picture or not an opion would not come a miss thought
this is the only way to learn ( i do not get offended easily and i take advide when needed no matter what age the person is ) AH well it is tea time now bye everybody

It's no problem sir! I'm certainly no expert, but just to my eye the 2 pieces of grass seemed very much in focus, when it seemed the attention should of been on the dandelion. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder though.

I think you all look great, for a youngster, I find it quite "prideful" (if thats a word), to see such fine, classy gentlemen! Unlike the bulk of the larger louts emerging!

Also, it's deffinately a great way to learn, your probably much like me, where all the numbers don't really mean a huge deal just yet, but it's certainly fun to try it out to get an idea on what they all mean. Personally, I could read a book and still be none the wiser sometimes, nothing like good old hands on practice I say!

Hope everyone is having a good day too!
