I love the color splash parrot neo. Very well done.
Can I get an opinion on these two? Which do you guys prefer. Any criticisms?

Edit:
Thanks for the input. They were taking in spot metering with shutter priority which worked much better than I thought it would. I've taken the pictures down for now. Back up.
It's hard to say tbh. In the first one I really like the contrast between the dark background and the bodies, but the fire is too bright and you lost a lot of details (like flames etc.)Quote:

But this is just my opinion, I'm a noob at photography, so take it as a personal preference :)
Great shots I really love the flames in the 2nd shot, the flames are lown out in the 1st. I don't know how you'd meter for correct exposure here perhaps spot metering?

@masterg
That lens only focuses to 1:2, not true macro. :)
I've been benching a lot lately, sorry this pic isn't cleaned up as usual.

Darakian and Joachim, very nice pics guys. :)
That fire looks pretty awesome (second pic on this page). And that statue is nicely composed and pretty "clean" looking.
Thanks man :). This one is more of a test shot, but I like how it turned out.

1:1, 1:2 and so on refers to a lenses maximum reproduction ratio. Which basically means it's size across a 35mm piece of film. A 1:1 ratio gives you a true to life size making the image almost appear enhanced. In order to get a 1:1 reproduction ratio you need a lens capable of 1:1 ratio and you would need to take the shot at the lens's minimum focal distance. This also becomes difficult due to any movement is exaggerated exponentially. 1:1 can also be achieved with extension tubes on lenses that are not capable of 1:1 ratio.Quote:
