    Re: Straight out of the camera

    sorry but i don't think this is a good image. the wheel isn't entirely on the picture and quite frankly i don't see what yoe mean to say with it.

    its my mirror collection,you see the blurred edges around the tire, looking straight forward to a set of tree's,the next one i do will be on tripods to get rid of the mirror movements.

    Re: Straight out of the camera

    LOL, tough crowd.

    Still I agree that the image isn't all that enticing.

    The bottom edge of the wheel being out of the frame doesn't bother me but I'm thinking a bit of right crop would improve the composition.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Straight out of the camera

    yes it is a very tough crowd,but thats the chance we take asking for critics, the idea behind this shot was to be able to look forward to a subject and have a double image of something directly behind,but done completely with the camera and no fake computer program editing software, but done in a way that does not show the mirror itself,this was done strickly hand held i'm sure on the tripods it will work more better, - back to the drawing boards.

    Re: Straight out of the camera

    You were using that mirror for macros. It really worked to give you extra distance for focussing. That is a good idea. This is a new use but you have a lot of problems to work out.
