Re: Cigar Photography

Hi Chris,

I have a rebel XT. I'll play around with the WB and see how it goes. Have to read up on what all these settings mean.

Av is fine, but you learn more when you shoot in Manual. I always suggest shooting in manual. Especially to people who don't know much about the camera yet.

Re: Cigar Photography

Don't normally try to take pictures for photography purposes, just to show off bombs and such. But, without any photshop or anything else, here are 5 Kristoff Criollo Lanceros.

I really like the way this shot came out. Maybe it was cigars themselves which made this such a good shot.

Re: Cigar Photography

Dan... it looks like you're trying to push your macro a bit too much, as it's kinda blurry still... I bet the same pics but a little further back would look much better :)

Thank you for noticing. Some really nice work on here, everyone.:tu

Re: Cigar Photography

I am really enjoying these pictures. Thank you folks! Very cool!

Re: Cigar Photography

Bobby, if your camera will allow you, try some without the flash. Most of those seem over exposed to me.

Re: Cigar Photography

Just set up a flickr account... now I need to upload some pics. Already chose the ones I'll throw in there.

Re: Cigar Photography

those last 2 pics are great, Dan!

Also... I got those pics of the my father... I just need to make them a normal size

Thanks! I held the camera back further on the foot shot and zoomed in a little bit. I cropped out all the extra crap and it made it pop. I really like it.

I had no choice, it was night time and the lighting in the house wasn't sufficient. OR yeah, it would have looked a lot better. Thansk for the tip brother!

Re: Cigar Photography

Re: Cigar Photography

First one. I like it because you can see the whole cigar very clearly but the background is still kinda dark.

Monte #2 Dunhill? Nice!

Re: Cigar Photography

Can't seem to post my pictures. Here is the link to flickr

http://www.flickr.com/photos/4590967...7623126375224/

Can anyone tell me how come my pictures are posted as thumbnails while others show up in full size?

The other question that I had is how to I post directly from a place like flickr. I tried the post from url function and it didn't work.

click your image, select "all sizes" from the list of options at the top, and grab the url at the bottom of the page

Re: Cigar Photography

i believe the small pics are from when you upload them onto your post from your computer.

The large photos are from using the IMG tags on your photo host server.
