I have never tried a close up picture of fruit before, but wandering through the rain forest in Dominica, as you do, I snapped this. (Feel free to tell me what the fruit is as well because I can not remember. Pomegranate possible?)
http://www.lamdesign.co.uk/photos/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 Now this was taken using the macro mode and default settings on the small 4meg Olympus 410 using default settings. I have cropped the image slightly (you can see the original elsewhere in the portfolio) but not messed with the colours, contrast, et al. This camera was bought for my wife just before the holiday in Dominica started. At the end of the holiday, I picked up a *ist D. Now if only I could get as good a photo with the fancier camera... (like I told my wife) Feedback on what is good/bad about the photo would be appreciated and advice on how to achieve even better on the *ist would be more welcome. (Note the lenses I have are as follows: 18-35, 28-80, 80-320 - all original Pentax zoom lenses.) -- Stuart mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
