Wordless Wednesday - Hairy
This week's Wordless Wednesday features hairy things - hairy string, hairy plant stems and a very hairy fly
Thanks all. Chris, the photos was taken with with the "very vivid" colour seting which boosted the colour. I did adjust contrast and brightness a little too.
Incredibly detailed! I can't wait until I get a better camera. What kind do you use? (I know that the quality of the photo also depends on the skill of the photographer - but I'm hoping that a better camera can help even someone like me! LOL)
Mama Pajama, the key things about any camera are accurate metering and good quality optics. A lot of functions that come with cameras are a waste of time. A good entry level Digital SLR like a Nikon D40 would be a great camera to have.
Shrijnana, I use a Nikon D200. THe photos was taken with a macro lens and a ring flash
I was a little worried when I read you were taking pictures of your fly, jams...... I was like, "What is The Poor Mouth resorting to for higher ratings??!!?"
Now that is one amazing and interesting photo! My boys thank you for it too, they are enjoying this greatly! :-)
