hello

[RaulB]

just wanted to introduce myself.. my name is Raul and i just recently purchased a Canon T1i with the regular lense and a 55-250mm lens... im a total noob when it comes to digital SLR's so you will find me here on a regular basis...
here are some shots i took today messing around with the settings... this is with my 55-250mm lens with a UV filter.. a couple were with a polarized filter..











they didn't all come out like that... after i took the pics i took it into photoshop and messed around with the RGB levels and Gradients to achieve the finished products... here are some before and after pics

Thanks bud... i didnt know that this type of close up picture taking was called macro shooting... i can really afford to buy a wide angle lens and a macro so i ended up buying a canon extension tube EF 25 II to use with my lenses so i can focus closer (learned about that on here last night) so thanks to everyone on this forum...
