Kodak DX3700 don't have a good macro mode so this is normal

kodak dx3700 doesn't have any good modes ;}

i've already posted to that one
find the magnifying glass results in poor quality
i thought this was an individual photograph discussion?
my photo has merely been overlooked and posted over...

Soup, I like the composition, but there is something about the shot that feel flat. Perhaps more contrast or different lighting to to give more depth?

thank you, shareinnc
i will give it a go - with some different lighting
it was sunlight, filtered
i dont have a lot of light options
so i tend to rely on the sun...

I think the camera did a pretty good job getting close and focused. If you are going to convert to b/w, you are not limited to any particular light source, you can even mix and match to your heart's content. So, grab those lights and practice!

TO me the shot is needing more contrasts, and as others said, different sources of light.
My current macro challenge shot was actually lit using a single small flashlight. So anything is possible. Esp. in B&W.. where white balance isn't as critical.
The shot I have posted in this forum, "too late for the macro challenge" was lit using a $5.00 mini light box. So almost anything is possible.
Interesting shot though.Message edited by author 2003-09-27 09:05:52.

appreciate all the input, and plan on trying some other angles and light sources when i get some time.
in the process of moving/ renovating now - so time is tight
