Calling all T3i users!!!

Wolf, back it up a bit so you see more in the shot, and get lower if you can. I think you're at too sharp of an angle. Here are a couple to show you what I mean...

PT-Great Cardinal shots!
CJ-Love the colors!
Rose-That sucks your week of fun is over, at least you had a good time, got some exercise, and took some great shots!
Biz-Love the Dandelion shot!
Dutch-Cool shot, you need to post more, I miss seeing your work!

Ace...your water shots are frame worthy...really. Anything besides the Macro? Flash? TC?

I'm looking forward to getting mine next week.

Thanks! Just a macro, no TC, and I'm using the flash off-camera. I have colored paper under and behind the bowl to give color, and I'm reflecting the flash off off the paper behind the bowl.

...here's what I mean about being too close, because I was too close when I first tried this:

Seems like timing the shutter with the drop is a real challenge.

I used a remote shutter, and once you start, you kind of get in a rhythm. I shot about 200 pics or so, and my biggest problem was my flash dying...towards the end of shooting, I had to wait for my flash to recharge like 3 seconds between each shot, lol. Now I have an extra set of batteries on hand if I want to try it again, lol.

Give me a couple of weeks.

I did use a tripod for these, just because you have to keep focus on one small space. I keep wanting to try it again, just not happy about setting everything up for the shoot, lol, I'm lazy!

Dutch, I hear ya, man...I actually saw a few insects outside today, woo hoo!!! Spring is almost here!

Ace, can't wait to see your bugs

Ace I am so glad you said that about being lazy.....I was thinking that when you all were discussing what you had to do to get those! lol

hmmm not so sure on the excitement for bugs :P

Nice shots, Double M!! I was checking them out on Flickr...30 seconds @3200 ISO? That seems crazy. I cannot wait to try this!

Thanks, Dutch, I can't wait to start shooting them!
