Hi Guys I have been practising with my new Canon 1000D ,hope you like the shots of my new sub. Also any tips would be nice please...

Great shots. I'm also practicing with my new Canon XSI & I find that natural light works great.

Nice pics!

Which macro lens are you using on your Canon?

supercharged · 15 November 2010, 01:29 AM

Just the standard lens I also have a Sigma 10-20mm which i,m told is good to use ?

Usually when we describe a lens it begins with the focal length in mms and the maximum aperture in F stops. You may be new to DSLR photography and I didn't mean to confuse you.

Your shots are very sharp.

Thanks Steve I am new to photography , can you recommend a lens for macro shots please

You can't go wrong with the Canon 100mm F2.8 Richard. It's an amazingly sharp and legendary lens that is also fantastic for portraiture.

Actually though, you're doing just fine with the lens you have!

Excellent work.

Latrodectus · 15 November 2010, 07:39 AM

Yes, good pictures!

I'm with Chuck.

Natural light. Just get by an open window on a Sunny day. Your watch photos will look more, well...natural. Much less harsh / shiny Vs. a flash.

Keep it up!!!

supercharged · 16 November 2010, 03:19 AM

Here is another attempt , alittle more ambitious and im not sure.....

2careless · 16 November 2010, 06:21 AM

Suggest the following improvements:
1. clean the watch face as much as possible with lint free cloth to avoid dust particles left on the watch.
2. use a tripod - make the aperture as narrow as possible (F/22 or higher), this will require the shutter speed to be much longer (that's why you need a tripod).
3. use normal light as much as possible, i.e. no flash. If you do need to add light, try reflective light i.e. bounce the flash to the ceiling and let the light get back down.
4. try to place the watch face to show no reflection, or use a circular polarising filter.
