first ever manual shot. indoors. low light. no flash.
I took this shot this morning of a 5mm stamen of an artificial flower, using normal room lighting. The camera was propped up on my desktop scanner. Some focusing issues but a reasonable exposure. Sometimes natural light can pay off

Nice Macro Jeff, Yes good exposure, interesting use of the scanner

I normally use a tripod but still get problems setting up the shot due to focusing movement when the lens is focused at its minimum distance. This shot went through my laptop on remote shooting. The camera was solid and focusing using a 17inch screen made a difference. It was just a quick shot but a good learning curve
In the morning I will set the shot up properly using todays lessons and see what happens. I have taken a few using shadowless lighting methods which works very well as I don't want to start shopping everything

Once upon a time there was a carp angler. He took some of the most amazing scenics, trophy and wildlife shots, mostly associated with carp fishing. He was without doubt the most respected carp angler in France and in the top three in Europe.
About five years ago he packed it all in to become a professional photographer. Have a browse through his site and BE AMAZED...
He's a Nikon man to his bootstraps by the way.

Interesting technique Jeff, I find it very tricky trying to hold the sharp focus area exactly were you want it with shallow dof, even when using my tripod the wind makes it tricky.
Found my wheelie bin a useful sigma prop sat afternoon taking this shot
Just had a look Ken
Excellent photographer, he's taking some awesome shots

Nice link Ken. I think I crossed swords with this bloke in the letter pages of Carpworld over the back cover shots of nubile scantily young girls holding Carp to advertise a French water. I think I labelled them tacky and tied in with some very old style advertising.
From memory I think he thought that I was not a real man because I was not drooling over his shots. My reply was not printed , which was a shame but properly a good call by Editor Tim.
A very good photographer, some stunning shots
David I have heard that a bean bag is a usefully accessory for field shots when getting down to the critters level.
One advantage of using a Wheele Bin is that you have something to put your gear in when you are on your way to a shoot. Could also double up as a hide
