I like the red/black flower negative.

I also like how the first one makes your puppy look like a gremlin  :)

Well, your photos do show creativity. That is really nice to see. And yeah, the first picture looks like Gizmo, the Gremlin! Cute.

I can relate to the pure enjoyment of photography, and totally agree that as long as you get something out of it, then you are right where you need to be. I love going back and looking at old pictures I've taken (and some recent ones) and just appreciating the moment of the photo.

We do have a thread started for art, poetry, etc., so please keep them coming! Share your stuff if you want to. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=952

Thank you! I do love insect photography. I do a lot of macro stuff as I get to see what one would not normally see with the unaided eye.

Quote from: "McQ"Nice, Tank. What equipment are you using?
My film based kit was Minolta. Sony took up the Minolta lens mount so my first digital was a Sony A100, it died (but I had it repaired) so I bought an A200 (10MP, APSc size sensor). The bodies both have anti-shake built in, which is really good!

Lenses
    Sony 18-70mm f3.5-5.6
    Minolta 28mm f2.8
    Sony 30mm f2.8 1:1 Macro
    Minolta 50mm f1.4
    Sigma 75-300mm f4.6-6.3 APO 1:2 Macro
    Minolta 100mm f2.8 1:1 Macro
    Sigma 180mm f3.5 1:1 Macro

As you can see I like Macro lenses

That's quite a list of lenses! Nice. It's smart to invest in good glass. But you should probably get a macro lens too.  ;)
