Last weekend, I shot almost one thousand images. The handful I just 
posted are the "good" ones. (Relatively speaking...)

It turns out I *really* love photographing small things! (Now I have a 
camera that can actually *do* that.)

Those are all very nice, but the colors are not very vibrant, and there 
is not a lot of contrast between the lights and darks. Sunnier weather 
might make for easier pictures.

Yeah, having an expensive camera makes it possible to get much closer 
shots, but no camera on Earth allows me to control the Sun, sadly. :-(

Wrong!
First you need a virgin and a sharp knife... ;)

Actually I think that they are just a tad overexposed.

I adjusted the exposure in Paint Shop Pro. What do you think of these two?

(BTW I cancelled my last post because the image sizes were too big.)

I think Andy's original posts look pretty realistic, much more so than
your tweaked versions.

I prefer Andrew's too. The colours look quite naturalistic, to me. But 
some people prefer a more dramatic image.
Reminds me of the time a colleague and I spent a day installing and 
setting up a TV projector. We were quite pleased with ourselves until 
our American OIM said it wasn't vibrant enough. Grrr! :)
