Hi all

 

Following on from the helpful advice from members last week, I again went out into the wilds of Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire to see if I could put into practice those things discussed.

 

Well, it's still as hard as ever chasing Live bugs and my patience is still not the greatest, however, I think there was definitely some improvement, though the keeper rate is as sucky as ever, though that is to be expected.

 

I'd appreciate it if you would take a little time to take a look at my latest efforts and give your feedback, especially, on any ways to improve post processing which is a major week point for me.

 

In this instance, I have kept it simple so all hints and tips are welcome, including feedback on what you do or don't like.

 

The following link takes you straight to a Flickr album just containing the images concerned.

Thanks

You have definitely been practicing

 

The damsel fly and regular fly shots are among my favorites.  My favorites for composition:

 

• green green grass of home
• mining the yellow gold
• dandelion -- nice DOF too
• hanging around
• next time I'll get
• punk is in -- nice use of a centered subject
• while I don't think the subject is clear enough in Hang in There, you are showing what the 150 can do for bokeh -- great colors

 

Nice work, and great patience with all of the little critters

Well done!

Not too shabby. There's a reason why Doctors call their profession a 'practice', they are always in a learning mode. Keep it up.
