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

amazon customer pict...

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.

funny looking, but that's correct. even my crappy costco bought tripod can do that

Alchemy · 08-02-2011, 04:36 PM

kenchan · 08-02-2011, 08:11 PM

yah, definitely like the rich colors in that cognac shot.

cute girl you got there, alchemy.

Nitex · 08-02-2011, 08:31 PM

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

second edit

Shot of one of the fishes in my tank.

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

. I think even then what your saying still pertains

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
