#59701 Testing My Macro Adaptor

Posted by JosephH on 11 January 2019 - 11:53 PM

Well I figured I would stay in and work with my macro adapter today and work on my basic Manual Mode Skills. I think I took everything people have been telling me about my ISO settings etc and put it to good use.

First Shot I played around wanted to do water drops but didn't realize had to be on top the water with the macro adapter so thats later.

I tried it out on my dirty hand from work lol it was hard holding camera still and pointing at my other hand.

Camera: Nikon D3500 DSLR

Low Light Indoors

23MM With Macro Adapter
Iso 450
f/5.6

#59589 A Walkaround the Hood

Posted by JosephH on 06 January 2019 - 05:11 PM

Here are some B&W I took while doing a walkabout my neighborhood today. it  was overcast, abt 10 deg F, 30-40 mph winds and freezing.

 

These are with Nikon CoolPix A10 auto pocket camera. I was mainly going for composition so feel free to rip me on them as it will only make me better, the rest not much control over.  Also there has been no post done on these other than resizing. All are of the same location from 3 different angles.
