Quick play with the tubes...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Quick play with the tubes...

Postby xerubus on Mon Jan 22, 2007 7:44 pm

Okay.. I had a couple of spare minutes when I got home, so decided I'd unwrap the kenko tubes, and try them out.

Going to have a better go at them tomorrow, and may have to crack out the tripod for the first time in a long while as my 'I need more coffee' shake was too noticeable.

Comments more than welcome.

I'm with him!
I live in Brisbane too - but I've never seen anything like those things.
They look like CGI from a sci-fi.
Great images though. :D

thanks everyone....

the spider is a jumping spider of some form... I thought it was a Biting Jumping Spider to start with but it doesn't look quite like it.

the moth is a Magpie Moth - Nyctemera secundiana.

thanks all...

Big V.. used the 90mm tamron. I'm thinking about a reverse 50mm on the 90mm later on in the year.
