=_=. Different standard altogether na~ I think I don't need to tell you that your photos are good no?

 

Where did you take them and what equipment? I know you use a MarkII but what lens? Especially for the insect closeup. How did you manage to get so close to the insect? Using long lens? Macro?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Equipment used:

#1: Canon D60 + Canon 70-200 f/4 L @f/6.3

#2: Canon 1D mk II + Canon MPE65 f/2.8 1-5x macro photo @f/16 + Canon MT-24EX twin flash

#3: Canon 1D mk II + Canon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 DO IS @f/8

#4: Canon 1D mk II + Canon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 DO IS @f/16

 

I take them all in Hong Kong, because I live in Hong Kong~

For the #2 insect closeup, I use a special Canon macro lens (Canon MPE65 f/2.8 1-5x macro photo) which can take an image from 1:1 up to 5:1. The image shown was set on 3:1 magification. Because the loss of light problem (macro lens always have light loss, the more magification the more loss of light), I need to use a special Canon flash called twin flash, which is specially designed for use in macro photography. These kind of > 1:1 photography is called extreme macro, or micro-photography.

You can have look at this lens and flash at Canon EOS website:

Wow, that close up of the insect is astonishing! Perfect timing too, how did you get that position of it? Also I went to your gallery and those shots of the sunset in the Airport are just so vivid! ...wow

Thanks~

The technique is to use a twin flash or ring flash, set exposure mode to M mode, f/16 and 1/250sec (or the X-sync speed your camera offers) to ensure that the depth of field is as deep as possible while trying to prevent shaking and any kinds of movement by setting a high shutter speed. Then wait for the fly (yes, that's a fly, but it's not house fly of course~) to feed the flowers... when they're feeding they'll tends on stay still (relatively... after all they still move, but that's easy to fozen it using a high shutter speed). With enough patience, luck and lots of trial-and-errors, you'll finally get it~

Of course, you'll need to have the right equipment to do the job. Macro always needs patience, if you don't have enough of it then better don't play macro~ you'll be frustrated to death~~~

I like the composition of the whole photo, the background is ashtonishing! I love those cabins ontop of cliffs.....luxury! The pose of the body and face is a bit serious but shoes a deep thinker! lol

I took this one of myself using a Canon digital camera with the remote and a small tripod, just in my living room I think I should have opened the curtains, but I didn't really think of that till later. Below is a link to the original and a sized down preview of the fixed up, which you can click to see the finished version:

I love photography. Well, I love all forms of art really! And I have a photoshop addiction! Hehe. But I'm still trying to learn how to do it properly!

These are just some promo pics for my little brother's band, There's Always Forever. (he's the hooded one) Click on the thumbs for fullsize.

 

For this one I used a blue/grey duotone, but left their faces, hands, etc in regular color.

 

I don't even remember how I made this. I just kept duplicating the layers and changing blending modes.

 

No effects for this one, but I still like it.
