I really cant get the hang of this  i don't know whether i need to invest in a tripod or just practice a lot more. When i look through my view finder the subjects appear in focus and when i see the pic displayed on the LCD screen they seem sharp but when i put them on my computer or view them on my TV they seem blurry and out of focus. its really frustrating  |
Every shot you see here is HH but most used flash and most I braced myself for it takes practice espcially with macro work as small movement is large movement for the picture I would get yourself a manfrotto 190/055 there about the best of the cheaper options

you will also want a cable/electronic release or you will have movement when you press the shutter button, an often overlooked point

can highly recommend the manfrotto 055PRO..great tripod but not the lightest...and as Paul mentions in macro the slightest movement can ruin a shot..although I have a remote for my camera I have yet to use it for macro as most insects won't wait for you..lol  Good for static subjects though.

Velcro mine to the tripod with a little strap and when out using it leave it all hooked up with legs extended then just plonk it down with a quick spread of the legs and shoot 190Pro is also recomended

Not saying much coming from someone with my camera skills but all the same i'd be proud as punch if i were you!! |
Scotts got a better camera than me! think he should put it up for adoption due to lack of use really!

I can see a healthy amount of competition arising between our two resident photographers! Tis all good. I enjoy seeing both styles.
Was "Arty farty" mentioned previously? 
Seriously, great pics from both of you always.
