Q, standard 18-70 kit, with a RAYNOX 250 (I think..!) that CM lent. Had to go very close to subject, less than 3 inches, I think, from subject to lens element in front. No filter.

CM250? ...you mean thts 25X ?

Sorry, did not ask, silly me! Can PM Crazymalaysian? Just overheard the gang talking, mentioning '250'.... I was too busy looking all around! :D

alan... F is a bit too high dont ya think?

[Crazymalaysian]

Alan, youre supposed to crop the inner bit so the vignetting from the raynox lens doesnt show. :cheers:

I suppose you used manual focus? The images look a bit soft, you should try using auto focus next time.

Btw the raynox I've got is the DCR-250.

[ckchowov]

Yo! DCR-250 rocks!

Errr, sorry, wot's 'F'? Me blur a bit liao .... :redface: Aperture ar? To be honest, after CM clipped it onto my lens, I just shot! Moved back and forth to get as sharp as possible.

Thanks very much, bro :D
Errr, me still not proficient yet when it comes to cropping, but I like it! I just shot without adjusting anything else! :redface: :D

Good effort. That's the spirit, play around first before getting into serious PP. Learn the tricks of shooting, then learn post processing. :)

Thank you, Sifu Noordin.
'Good effort' from you means a great deal and is a lot of encouragement. 'That's the spirit..' means I'm on the right track - thank you very much, appreciate it. :redface:
