Default Few starting shots
Hi guys,

Only new to DPS today but thought I'd upload some of my first shots using my Olympus E-520. Feedback welcome. Look forward to getting to know you all.

Just looking at the thumbnails, the first shot appears out of focus. In full size it isn't. Strange...

Matt

It's funny actually Leona, my macro lens actually briefly touched the wasp at one stage but it didn't move which was great. Very photogenic wasp indeed ha ha.

Funny, I get excited about a lot of my pictures which look great as thumbnails but are completely out of focus when blown up. 1/2 of my favorite photos are thumbnails, I think. That ladybug picture is really cool. You can almost tell what she's thinking.
