Night Macros Pt I
Decided to have a play outside tonight.
I'm in the Blue Mountains, and it's pitch black, misty and rainy. So armed with my Sigma 105, SB800 and a head torch I stepped out into the fray. Shots are manual focussed and handheld. Head torch strap was wrapped around lens, so that the torch pointed roughly at the subject to allow me to see. Some arn't dead sharp focus, but it was a test of idea. #1 
#2 
#3 
#4 
#5 
#6 
#7 
#8 
#9 
#10

Nice shots
Shots 2, 8 and 10 are my favourite =BlackWater= The most secure computer in the world is one not connected to the internet. Thats why I recommend Telstra ADSL.
tough conditions resulting in some great shots, well done....
Now come back in before you catch a cold  D4, D700, plus glass from 14mm to 200mm
Gaffa Tape is like the FORCE... it has a Light side, a Dark side and it holds the universe together

Nice shots and well into darkness venture! great works! I thought you've been assigned to that spot to do the works as shooting the property for your parent's business, but you didn't, and only playing with macro at night  Or you tried to find some night movement shots for the challenge No:7?
Enjoy your stay! should be a nice weekend and lovely shots come out later in the day from you! keep 'em coming! Birddog114

#7 to #10 are my picks as well. These work because you've managed to use the lighting conditions to isolate the flower from it's background so it's effectively floating in mid air. This has the positive effect of focussing attention completely on the lovely sharp flower image you've captured with no other distractions. Well done. Peter

Thanks for all the critiques.
That was one of the great things about doing it at night - very easy to get good subject isolation. With #8 - Reds were getting severly blown out (something I've noticed with using flash - if it's a red flower it's almost not worth bothering). So I had to reduce sat to -99 in RSE, then I brought it back up in levels in PS. I've posted another lot: http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php?t=10322 - Nick

Pippin interesting work. I like the others I prefer 7,8,9 & 10 and note your comments about reds and flash. Nice images well done
