Leica Guy Posted June 23, 2018 Share #841 Posted June 23, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Zampelis is setting such a standard. I can only try and get close to his great images. Super job Zampelis! On this bug I used a 49mm Hoya Macro Filter I had purchased last year. I don't think it's quite the magnification that the two filters together give Zampelis. It's fun though. I used my Canon Ring Flash as the main light source and I used the Leica Table Top tripod to hold the camera steady. I had no luck trying this handheld. The colors are natural to the bug. I could easily see them reflected in natural light. Welcome, dear visitor!

zampelis Posted June 23, 2018 Share #842 Posted June 23, 2018 These are some amazing colours Dan. There is no way to get those colours without a good flash! By the way thank you for your kind words! I doubt I set any standard! We are just using a tool and we try to help each other making the most out of it! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoki Posted June 26, 2018 Share #851 Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Beautiful shot! I hope the Mods can move it to a place where it belongs. My bad.. it was a mistake. Will remove the pic and post it where it should. I am sorry, and thank you for your understanding. Update: Just found out that I can't delete and move it to the correct forum. Maybe Admin can help?

bags27 Posted June 30, 2018 Share #854 Posted June 30, 2018 I'm not suggesting this is very good, but it was incredibly easy to tart up in PS with the Nik collection of plug-ins by DxO which is still on sale until tomorrow, I think. They contain the famous silver efex pro. I think, however, there are some bugs in the current LR version that prevent plug-ins; that will get fixed soon, I hope. I think filters/plug-ins/presets are fun and great to use to give yourself quick ideas about aesthetics and then to modify for a personal statement. Welcome, dear visitor!

I love the colours! Also thank you for the heads up about the Nik collection. I downloaded them and I had some problems with the latest version of the Photoshop too, it was crashing the app every time I tried to apply a filter. After looking around on internet I fount that you can fix that by choosing from the Nik options not to create a new layer every time you apply an effect but rather apply the effect on the same layer! It works like a charm now, I just need to create the new layer manually on every effect I need to add! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bags27 Posted July 1, 2018 Share #858 Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks so much for the software info! And your photos are as always amazing. I’ve ordered the same macro enhancements but alas they are weeks away, and my garden is now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted July 1, 2018 Share #859 Posted July 1, 2018 A testament to the great line in Jurassic Park: life finds a way. Five years ago, virtually all the hydrangeas in our seaside town (where folks take hydrangeas seriously) had a terrible winter and no flowering that summer. Finally, this summer, we've had the full return to their glorious colors. Here's two of our Nikkos, one about to be in full color, the other in full color. Life is good when hydrangeas are back in bloom. Welcome, dear visitor!

The hydrangeas there are gorgeous most years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
