Excellent focus and very, very impressed with the lack of ISO noise on a long exposure ISO 800 image! Are you using the High ISO noise reduction/Long Exp NR that's built in or are you using a neat image software? (Curious minds who use the same Nik and Lens want to know!) |
I don't recall if I used any NR software on this, but if I did it would be NeatImage. THanks! |

Welcome to the side challenge Steve. Good start. With an 18-200 zoom make sure you're at 200 to get the closest in, since the specs say it will focus to 20 inches throughout the range. A couple of cheap Home Depot halogen floodlights would help lighting. That would let you use a higher aperture and get more of the control pad in focus. Looking forward to upcoming days shots. |

I like the angle of the shot but like to see this with a tad more lighting to boost the image. |

The lighting doesnt look too good - was it perhaps just room lights? |

Thermostat for the electric blanket or the heating pad. Looks a bit chilly in the off position. Good start. |

Well you have to start somewhere. Household objects are a good start. The composition seems fine. Could play with rotating to see what you get. The lighting seems a little flat but you can tweak that in some photo editing software. |
