En ek dog jy bloei! Very well done. You managed to get good DOF here and the sharpness is excellent. Where did you get this Wolf on such short notice? Congratulations with the new camera.

Gerhard, I'd say spiders are my favorite insect & you've done well with your new digicam. Great perspective here. You asked for advice. The only thing I can tell you is what I've learned here at TN. I'm using a Hoya skylight filter 1B along with manual EV adjustment which seems to correct exposure problems well, especially in bright sunlight. Hope this helps a bit??

This one looks like a real character with the "beard" and striped punker hairdo ;-))
Congratulations on your new toy. I've got the same combination but haven't used the lens much (I use the Tamron 28-300 instead). Generally, however, you get less DOF with a SLR than you do with a fixed lens camera. Focus is spot on the face here, but DOF is rather shallow, leaving a good deal of the legs outside. When shooting bugs; try going for as high an F-stop as you possibly can in the circumstances at hand and then work your way down - if you have to - to get a shutter speed you can handle hand held. Say, start out at F-13, and if you get 1/200 that's fine. If you get 1/30, now, you'll have to go lower on the F-stop, or you'll probably get a shaken pic instead. After a while you'll grow better at judging the light etc and figuring out what's within the limits for that light. Happy shooting ;-)

Penetrante mirada... estaba enojada contigo?.
Bonita imagen, con adecuada perspectiva y profundidad, aunque coincido con otras críticas que la iluminación es un tanto alta.
Excelente contenido de tus notas.
Felicitaciones por la nueva cámara!.

Penetrating watched... Was she angry with you?.
Pretty image, with adapted perspective and depth, although I agree with other critics that the illumination is somewhat high.
Excellent content of your notes. Congratulations by the new camera!.

Very nice Gerhard.
Good details and nice colours.
Good note.
Congrat to your new camera, I think you will enjoy it.
Bente is rigtht about the f-number on a DSLR camera,
you will need a tripod if you will have a good DOF.

Well done.

Howl! Another wolf for today. Lovely view of the eyes. You've done a good job here Gerhard It is lacking a teeny bit in definition - handshake? BUT...that's a very small niggle in a great photo. I like it!

I am very jealous of your new camera!

This one seems to be looking into your objective, it is a penetrating potrait, not your usual shapness but that eyes make the photo a good one.
