Post by: hapkido1996 on December 27, 2012, 06:05:43 am: Friendly and cooperative bugger. Gave me a lot of time to play. Constructive criticism very welcome.

No problem. Nice shot.
Those eyes are freeky.

Welcome to LuLa by the way.

I'll look around for a landscape to post instead, though. My noob-ness is sticking out too much with
that spidey shot.

Post by: Tony Jay on December 27, 2012, 06:27:52 am: Have a look around the site.
User critiques in particular has a fairly wide variety of photographic genres on show.
I've seen most genres exhibited on the site.

Post by: hapkido1996 on December 27, 2012, 06:35:33 am: Will do. I came here on a recommendation and like what I see. I'm mostly lurking so far, though.

Post by: hapkido1996 on December 27, 2012, 07:07:21 am: Well, this is recent. I've had this D800E only a little over a week. Any constructive criticism, again, would be very welcome.

I had a little vignetting, which I cropped out. I think it was due to the CPL.

Post by: Chairman Bill on December 27, 2012, 07:18:02 am: I prefer the spider
Title: Re: Jumping spider on bathroom window
Post by: hapkido1996 on December 27, 2012, 07:25:46 am: Me, too. That's why I thought of it first. ;)
Title: Re: Jumping spider on bathroom window
Post by: shutterpup on December 27, 2012, 09:31:29 am: +1 for the spider. The other one is just ordinary. ;)

Post by: RSL on December 27, 2012, 10:02:57 am: Since Michael often posts street shots I doubt he'd agree that LuLa is limited to landscapes.

But welcome, Hap, to LuLa. I like the jumping spider. He's one of the good guys.
Title: Re: Jumping spider on bathroom window
Post by: hapkido1996 on December 27, 2012, 10:26:19 am: Thanks. I thought I might catch some grief for posting macro, so I grabbed the first landscape-like thing I found. It's really just a throw-away. ;) The spidey is the keeper.

Don't fret about it. All sorts of stuff are accepted and appreciated. That's a nice shot: I like what I assume to be a thread of silk on the right.

Welcome.

Post by: Tonysx on December 30, 2012, 07:28:45 pm: I'd keep Boris (I'm old and can remember the Who) and seriously consider whether I would keep the landscape.... :P
Title: Re: Jumping spider on bathroom window
Post by: hapkido1996 on December 30, 2012, 09:16:11 pm: Definitely, Tonysx! Boris (I'm also old enough ;)) stays, the landscape is trash. 8)

Post by: hapkido1996 on January 01, 2013, 09:27:33 am: Thanks! That was with a D90. Hope I get a chance to do something like that with my D800E.

I got some snowy landscapes today, so I hope I can find something in there worth sharing.
