Here is one that doesn't involve the boychild's arse, from yesterday. 002 by Leah 75, on Flickr

FM, those photos are great :) I had the boy child in the yard helping me create some images and the little brat threw me a "full moon" It may be tomorrow before I can bring myself to download the images!!

Thanks tlc and huga :)

More macro ... this is fun :) 004 by Leah 75, on Flickr

Taken during a hard fought game. 153 by Leah 75, on Flickr I took this one while I was trying to work out settings so I could take photos of the game pictured above. Very disappointed that the pool fencing was unadviodable. 005 by Leah 75, on Flickr 004 by Leah 75, on Flickr Now to develop some new ideas for the month ...

Here is another one I took at the same time as the others. I was very surprised at how the background turned out. (It is scoria rock sprinkled with leaf litter!) 041 by Leah 75, on Flickr

Thanks Persephone. I'm still exploring what the camera can do, so it is nice when a photo or 2 come out as I was intending. :)

Thanks for the answers :) I've tried a few more. The rose is completely untouched, not even cropped. I was happy with how it looked. 013 by Leah 75, on Flickr 029 by Leah 75, on Flickr 038 by Leah 75, on Flickr

All these macro shots are just bueatiful, the colours are amazing. Can I ask; Are they all pretty much straight from the camera or are they being "tweaked" or undergoing a full edit?

There is some beautiful photos in this thread. I have never taken macro photos, but I did take a photo of a bug on the weekend 1227 by Leah 75, on Flickr

Thanks tlc. Here is another, out at Mundi Mundi Planes. I've worked out why my family are so hard to take photos of, they never step away from wach other. LOL Boys3 by Leah 75, on Flickr

I took this one last week at the Miner's Memorial at Broken Hill. 424 by Leah 75, on Flickr

I adore the PJ style, however my images just never measure up to what I think they should look like. There are a lot of fantastic images in their thread. :)

I was presented with the perfect opportunity to have a go at backlighting. I struggled heaps with getting the camera to do what I wanted it to. But I did eventually manage this ....

Thanks tlc :) I'm really only at the stage ATM where I can adjust the ISO and Av or ISO and SS. I can't manage to do them all at once yet I'm using a 60D, though I am loving editing software!

My camera and I are still getting to know each other, but here is a photo from this morning at the beach with the kids.

Goooo Suz!!!!!!!! So well deserved.... X2 So proud of you Suz!

M&Ms post okay, and I'm told the chocolate available in the MEast is horrible.

Dottie has terrible dandruff when she arrived (I assume that is the same as you are talking about). I added sunflower oil and apple cider vinegar to her food daily and it cleared up pretty quickly.

Wow, how good is that!! Good luck with getting it organized.

Plus you have the cars: Mini Cooper and the Cooper SS (rally version I think)
