Fourth option for me also. The darker colours seem to draw your eyes to them more, so it appears the stronger picture.
And after tossing a coin, I voted for B to be tonemapped. Really hard to tell as they both don’t really look that natural… Great pic though, love the ‘moving’ water!

Oh Jaysus. You weren’t kidding when you said Extreme! I nearly fainted there. *shudder*

Great pics though!!! What lense did you use and where did you take the pics?

Beautiful. Love the fact that it’s in focus all the way, like WillW said.

How’d you get the damselfly to pose so nicely? :)

They’re not stupid questions!

I’m using an adapter that screws in between the lens and the camera body, so yes the lens is physically attached to the camera body, just backwards.

Tried the tripod, but the adjustments were so minute the tripod seemed a hindrence. Haven’t thought of the timer thing… anyone know if that works?

Fantastic! Well done – such a great picture! (Not that they weren’t all!)

Congratulations to the round winners!

Thanks a million to both of you for the replies! Must say, I like the sound of that canon one – though maybe the A570 as that has image stableized zoom… must discuss with my other half!

And yes, I have been called mad, but I don’t see what’s wrong with furthering her interest and I’m never really happy when she uses our eos 350d or 20d (even when mounted on a tripod and we’re not further than a foot away, I get nervous of her accidentally knocking them over!)

Thanks again!!

OUCH that sounds sore… 5 hrs is sure a long op!

Don’t know you (yet) but hope you’ll be up and about again soon!

WOW! What an amazing shot! Those two must be quite preoccupied to stay still long enough for you to take this pic, hee!

What lense were you using?

Oh wow, what a shot! Amazing how well that worked for you – and I’m feeling itchy now…

Thanks for the link, will give them a shout and see just how expensive this might be… maybe it’ll be the excuse I need to get a newer camera ;)

Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for the friendly welcome :D

I’ll be brave and put up some pics this weekend.
