The second image of the two is sh*t, why bother posting it? Bin it. MC I have to agree. I don’t see the point of cropping from a low res jpeg. The result is going to to be messy, and this one is particularly bad. What were you trying to do? If you wanted a tight crop you should have done that to the RAW file in LR, or the converted RAW in PS, but never to a JPEG. From the PSD. I think it's about 50% too heavy. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...avy%20crop.jpg Well, …er, OK. That is at least better than that messy JPEG crop, but as an example of a good macro shot it still leaves much to be desired. I would start with the focus on your alleged subject, the wasp. This is one of those times where things didn’t come together to give you the perfect shot. …and I am sure the wasp wasn’t cooperating. -- Regards, Savageduck |

My late wife was on dialysis for several months, and it was most difficult for both of us. Fortunately, she then got a sibling transplant which functioned well until her sad demise 34 years later. I wish your wife good luck. Thank you. Unfortunately, she is ineligible for a translant. Her dialysis is something that now a part of our lives. -- PeterN |

How are you finding the D800? A friend has a d810 and I've had some difficulty "developing" its RAW files. They end up with a lot of noise unless I'm using Nikon's software. Not sure of the cause at this stage. But when the software "groks" it, it's superb! Ignore the comments about the second jpg: the number of measurebators in this group is as high as ever... #facepalm (it is freakin OBVIOUS it was not posted as an example of quality, you NONGS!) |

I've had it for several years, and use my D300 only as a backup. if I am shooting wild birds, or under low light conditions I shoot at ISO1600, or higher. I am not sure what works on the 810, but I use DXO to reduce the noise. One of my friends uses Nikon Capture for his initial selection and processing. He then imports the files into LR for organizing. He works primarily in LR and PS, after that. But when he has noisy image, he also will process with DXO. -- PeterN |

ME too although not this morning, I brought an EOS M3 Haven't used it much weather been pretty bad in london, well it's summer time now, so plenty of dark clouds and showers to put you off going out. My first gig with it was saturday. It's a bit slow at focusing in low light but much faster than my previous G10. If anyones intrested in the videos they're up on youtube.com/davewhisky. Congrats! What lenses did you get? I'm not much into video for the moment so I got the 22 with the EF adapter. But I got this thingy anyhow, just for testing... Works better with video I think. http://tinyurl.com/ocb74lf -- teleportation kills |

What lenses did you get? Just the standard kit lens 18-55 will consider another when I decide whether to get the wide and tele lenes for the M3 or whether to get the M converter to ES/EF whatever.. and then decide which lens to get. Of course I want macro, long telephoto, and a good wide angle. Then perhaps next year get a proper DLSR. I use my Peleng for UWA... But alot of folks on the forums are happy with the EF-M 11-22. enjoyed connecting it to the ipad for viewing and downloading what's on the SD card, and using teh ipad to trigger the shuter. All I need now is a day off work when it's not running and I've nothing else to do. I'm not much into video for the I used to enjoy photography more when I first started now I find video more fun.
