Title: Flower stack
Post by: HCS on July 22, 2016, 20:29:31

No, but not really. These have not been focus stacked or otherwise. They're a stack of clichés: spray flower with water, then reverse the lens, then free lens it (except the 3rd one). Please let me know how you think they turned out.

I like the third one.
The first two are blurry which I would like but not the first two for some strange reason... probably lack of proper creamy bokeh...

Thanks a lot Jakov, i appreciate the comments. I was goofing around reversing lenses, bare on the camera, as well as against other lenses. The third one is a "proper" one, with the Siggy 150 from a tripod.

Agree with Jakov.  The third is very special.

Thanks Elsa, i appreciate you looking and commenting. It seems that my free lensing exercise didn't work out as well this time. No worries, i keep on trying.

No worries Elsa, you know pretty well how it works. I am looking for critique here and got some good feedback. I do appreciate that.

I'll keep on trying, for me the fun of photography is in the trying. If i were able to do it all "perfectly" already, where's the fun in that?

Absolutely - which is why I keep shooting the same thing over and over and over again - hoping for something better or that i can learn to do it better.
