SarahE - Hello and welcome to the forums! It is nice to meet you and to see your first post on site! Can you tell us a little more about the photo and your settings? Or, what ever info you would like to share with us? Thank you!
[attachment=1741]Spent a few hours down on the beach today, peering into the rock pools. Lowest tide of the year. 100mm macro lens, f9 at 1/100 sec. 400 ISO. Canon 60D.
Was this through water Dean, in any case good shot. Try lighten it a bit, sure it would improve, based on my Monitor. Ed.

Thanks for the pm Ed. Yes, it was through water and I had forgotten my polariser.

That was quick Dean, don't own any Filters, so can't forget them. Cheers. Ed.
This is very cool! How did you get so close? If you were using a telephoto lens.....even better.

Thank you for the welcome. I took this photo last Feb. just as the pussywillows were coming. I use a Sony DSC T50 point and shoot. Settings are limited so I just set the camera on macro, held it steady and shot. I'm quite pleased with the result.

Thanks Sarah. I was using a 100mm macro lens so was about 8 inches above the water surface. Shallow rock pool only a few inches deep. Shrimp seemed to be interested in what I was doing and came closer for a better look!

Hi Casey, unfortunately the size does not convey much, I get away with a 1024x768, try around that figure, too big and you get a warning, look forward to a better look. Ed.
hi i took this shot after we had a down poor of rain all through the night, it was with my VR 17-55mm lens ISO 140. 1/125s F/8 i had +17 macro lens filters on to get a close shot.... the photo was taken about 12:50h. i dont know why but i feel sad when i look at this ?!

[attachment=1766][attachment=1766]I love taking pictures of raindrops on flowers, etc after a rain. The objects I found were too high for my tripod so I tried to stay still and just shot. I love the way the background looks so clear in the raindrop. I used the magnifying glass setting on my point and shoot.
Very nice images everyone! Love to see what everyone is working on!

Keep them coming! Thanks!

No worries, Eli - autumn is coming and I'm quite sure we'll all have more than enough rain in a next few months.
