i dont think i can get these tripods to go as low as this table top one... right?

On most pro quality tripods, you can flip the center post.

You could also attach a lateral side arm, but that's really more useful for macro work.

Great work so far by the way.:tup:

Ok so i did some playing around in photoshop.. I think i improved from the last time. Let me know, i dont mind harsh criticism lol

Different crop though. And i think thats a crab shell he was eating : ) Wish i could lower the over exposure on the shells attached to it.. I should just picked them off, but it was sticky.. haha

Nitex,

Can I make a suggestion for you about the composition of your photos? I notice generally your photos have the main image centered in the photo. Not saying this is bad, but I would suggest maybe reading up on how shooting with the rule of thirds in mind can help improve your photography.
Heres an article I found that might help.

Rule of Thirds

Ahh yes, that makes sense. And to think ive been croping them this way haha! I was experimenting with getting close to small things.. this could be mis interpreted :icon17: . I think even then what your saying still pertains :tup:

Alchemy, i have no idea.. I was fliping over rocks in tide pools and take shots : )

Nick911sc 08-02-2011 09:00 PM

yea, I use it for both composition while shooting and then for cropping afterwards. A majority of the shots I've taken and posted were originally shot with the object central and then cropped using the rule of thirds
