Go easy now...

Hi all,

Well , this is my very first upload of anything I have taken; guess I'm just too nervous because of the quality on here! Anyhow, this is my first attempt at macro, well I assume it counts as macro anyway!

Any c&c welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I really love the first one, altho I can't say why. It really made me look.

I like the first one also...Why? Well, I just do!

i too like the first one, the colours are good.

I like the subject very much. There's a great opportunity here too shoot some interesting macro's.

The second, imo, is the best, although not really macro. But its a good close-up with interesting colours and a good compo.
The first is more like a macro, but it's just not sharp. Try using a tripod or faster shutter speeds if you can.

nice start and welcome to the forum!
that first one is best IMO shows your DOF well, but would be really good with a small spider on that rusty nail head!

Hey all,

Thank you for the positive comments. The first one isn't quite as sharp as it should be, that's me learning that when you're close up all the tiny little movements get magnified! I didn't realise that ~ but I do now!

Thanks again

I like the first one also.
Why:
A nice flow from top left to bottom right.
Lovely colour gradient.
Good leading lines.
The hair (or whatever that is) adds to the texture and interest.

What's not great about it, is that focus is slightly out for the main subject, which I take as being the head of the bolt.

The second shot is a little humdrum.

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them.

I like the first image. Good show of details and color.

Wish I'd have found something very similar to #1 when I had to shoot "Rust" as a camera club theme a couple of months ago...

Quite nice!
