Yes - but as I have stated in another post I will now be giving details on pics posted.

Nikon D70 with Sigma 105mm macro
Shutter speed: 1/1000 sec
Aperture: f/6.7
ISO: 800
RAW mode

Cropped from the original. There is noise in this photo and attempted Noise Ninja but did not like the result - so this is the original

Chris - nice image, diagonal composition, lovely warm colours and OOF background.
My only very, very minor criticism relate to the shadows towards the bottom of the image. I would have liked to have seen fill-flash or a reflector used to remove them. But that's only IMHO!
Good job!

I like the photo but why ISO 800? On purpose? Forgot to change? Accordingly to shutter speed you could set it to ISO 200 and avoid noise

I was actually trying to see how much noise there would be at 800 - so it was an experiment

Ah, OK

I removed noise from such pictures with Neat Image with D70 profiles. I think you can get a trial copy from the net and D70 profiles somwhere in the net as well but they are free

Very interesting Chris,

What sort of Botanical Specimen is this.

Mic. :wink:

A very dead red thingy - guess you now know I am not a botanist :wink:

I think it might be a form of iris - grows very tall

That's the weirdest "flower" ever!

Actyally, I knew I have seen this Specimen somewhere before :roll:

While I was trekking deep in the heart of the Purubian Jungle pearched behind an Incan Ruin there it stood.

The great Maroon HoneySuckle Green Leafed Whooping Cultivar.

Gee's, you would have thought I'd spotted it straight away.

Forgive spelling mistakes : My Purubian isn't that grand.

Mic.
