Willie ek gaan nie kritiek lewer nie. Ek sal graag nog 'n macro wil sien. Is die resultaat dieselfde? Ek vermoed dit het te doen met die diepte veld wat baie naby is.

You are working in a quite short distance here, I am surprised with the versatility of that video cam of yours. I dont think you must spend 16 grands on a good cam, you can get one sony like mine or olympus for less than 500$. I know cannot be compared to some slrs used around here, but get quite good results. I did a WS to get rid of some noise and sharpen a bit. Hope you like!

The composition is very nice as are the colours. You have done well here to get this capture but I think you are finding limitations in your equipment. Good note.

I agree with others - colours, composition and subject are very good, but looks like your sony blurred this picture a little.

These are realy very small insects, your focus is excellent taken your equipment into account, you are a pro Willie, well done!

Willie, you have already gone beyond what I believed Video Cameras were capable of so I will say nothing about equipment. There is some noise which can be improved by Neat Image.


I like this image a lot and I know from past experience not to touch these guys, it is very painful

Thanks for posting

Willie, I know you took this photo with the first camera you used to take photos. Through this picture we can easily see how, photo after photo, you improved your skills.

Here, I like pov and composition. The soft focus, you already learned how to overcome it.
