I'm guessing by the lack of replies my descriptor "crappy" was fitting. =] Here's some more of my boredom







Note: None of the shots on here will be edited outside of my camera =].

How many pictures do I have to post here to get someone to talk?







Now please, some C&C maybe?

BTW, yes I like macro... Want a nice macro lens but I am too cheap.

haha tongue.gif Sorry for not posting sooner, and I love macro too heart.gif The only problem that faces you with macro's is that you (and when I say you I mean people in general most definitely including me tongue.gif) tend to just take super-close ups on well... more or less anything and everything and unfortunately when it comes to showcasing your photos these shots tend to be quite boring and repetitive :/ What you want to do is really consider what it is you are macro'ing and try to blend in emotion with that which you've done quite well in your absolute last photo smile.gif However the pic of the wild country perfume/liquor/whatever it is was quite nice aswell if you're more into the product displaying side of photography tongue.gif All in all what I'm trying to say is certain shots of yours have potential you just gotta plan them out slightly better wink.gif (Yes, excuse the wall of text I tend to ramble on about ... nothing lol). Gz though<3 I'd love to see you take one more macro shot that you spend quite some time thinking about and attempt to "blend in emotion" so to speak wink.gif I'll check back incase you do decide too biggrin.gif Oh, and I'll be looking through my hd to try and find some of my better macros ^^

(And the last bracket of the wall of text! xD This is just my interpretation, I could be completely wrong about this so don't take my word for it until one of the better photographers on this site agrees wink.gif)

*edit hahahha xD It's so hilarious to see how many smileys I make while writing and not editing lol. Ahwell, that's the last of the text. I swear ^^

Yeah, I see what you mean, but it was mainly just out of boredom *tries to think of more excuses for sucking*. How would I add more emotion? Lighting?

Lols man, don't fret tongue.gif I'm just as bad as you are happy.gif I'm not sure... just really think about the shot before you take it. For instance let's say you want to take a picture of a dog. Ask yourself: Where would the best place be to take the picture? Should I be using a flash or not? Will the lighting be sufficient in the place I've chosen to take the picture at? Will I need a faster shutter speed to capture the dog in motion? Should I just follow the dog around and wait for an opportunity or should I stage something? Can I convey any message into the picture? (An example of this could be a picture of a sad looking pup mopeing around a few meters away from some dogs that are playing) Will I need a tripod when I take the shot? Should I wait for a sunny day to take the shot? Maybe the shot would look better during overcast weather? If the sun sets in the east should I take the shot from the west, north or south? Heh. These are just a few examples, you can virtually ask yourself anything! The more aspects you draw in the better a shot could get smile.gif
