Closet Photographer
Discussion
Ive never shared any of my photos before, thought Id post a few and ask for some feedback :)
The first photo was taken on 'vivid mode' but otherwise all snaps are straight out of the camera, cropped in some instances, but have otherwise not been photoshopped (they could actually use a little work in PS!)

Some very nice, interesting and varied stuff there. I think I like 2 best.
The only thing I'd add is that I hate my camera tinkering with my shots (eg 'vivd' mode). I really, really, hate modes, especially cuisine mode... IMHO it's better to shoot on default settings and tart them up* later in PS if you want.
*sorry, optimise them

Cheers guys
2 and 3 were shot indoors by moving the flowers in and out of the sunlight at dangerously fast break neck speeds because the sun moves bloody fast!
The background of 2 is my leather jacket which only item which made a decent background.
The bee was taken in my bedroom skylight window, the black borders made a nice natural composition.
Sadly I only have a canon g5, but bought a cheap 8x zoom lens, giving me 32x optical with far too much chromatic abberation. The second hardest photo was the moon which, like the sun, moves so fast its nearly impossible to centre it in the frame, even with a tripod!
The most time consuming shot was of the prawns below, which I cooked myself and then shot under god awful indoor lighting

Come out of your closet, keep your hands in the air, keep your shutter release finger where we can see it!
