Well done Adco, some nice bugs there. Nicely captured and presented, thanks for adding captions, I feel it adds a lot, A picture tells a thousand words perhaps but it still needs an intro!

:applause:

Looks like Adco managed to create his album by himself. Well done!

This first step is the most difficult but the rest should be easier.

Thanks guys. The reason I couldn't create the album was because I wasn't logged in.....:doh:

My understanding is that the forum and the gallery are separate software, somehow you have to log into both first time but once you have created your gallery, from there on they synchronise.

It's just a matter of getting over that first hurdle.

o.O

Sometimes this is the case and others not.
Best to assume that you are not logged in correctly to the Gallery if you have difficulties.

Likewise trying to return to the forums from the Gallery you need to click on the Forums link not the main logo which should also work.

Just some more feedback on the everlasting saga of my macro
photography journey.

Through reading, talking, asking and a bit of common sense etc, I have progressed to M mode. A scary jump up from P mode I must say.

I realised that a lot of my focusing issues arose from camera shake. I had many blurry pics to contend with. So, I went to A mode and set the it to 18, then set the S mode to 1/125 or 1/160 and finally turned to M mode. That seemed to keep those settings even if I turned the camera off. I had to pop the flash up for most shots except when in direct sunlight.

It has made a huge improvement to my shots. I get great close-ups and find I don't have to take as many shots as I did before. Saves a lot of time afterwards on the PC. Only drawback is that the battery runs out a bit sooner than before. Not too serious though. Well worth the trade-off.

Well done, sometimes you have to learn the hard way, I know of wonderful photographers who tried their own ways but eventually accepted that so often with photography, the 'harder' way can be best. Then it become the easy way. because it's the route which brings the best images. It's only harder because it seems that way until you realise the advantages. Really it's just a different way.

Well done Adco.

In case you have not discovered as yet....
P does not stand for Professional but "Perhaps it will be right"
M does not stand for Moron but "Megastar able to manage!"

Next remember that Manual rather than AF focus mode is best for macro photography!
