The week of April 20-26 will be for highlighting a technique you particularly like. An example is this image where I illustrated the effect of a diffuser. Other examples might include fill flash, cramming, SOA, etc. Provide a description of what you did along with the image. I'm hoping this will be a knowledge-fest and will make the finest Flora forum on the planet even better.

Hi Bill, What are cramming and SOA? Kent

Kent: Here is a tongue in cheek description of SOA. As for cramming, here's an example. I hope someone will post a crammed shot with a good explanation. Nathan Buck is a master at it. >=))>

Cramming seems to be another one of those NPN unexplainable terms :smile: unless I'm wrong. They keep coming up with strange terms in the flora forum Kent. Type it into google and take a look at the first thing that pops up :cool: They might change it unless they want the FBI getting involved.

Kent, its out of focus foliage in the front of the camera that can sometimes give a sort of coloured soft focus. Near enough anyway. Something in macro we see a lot.

Very interesting theme there Bill and you know I will be into that for sure. Gives me a break from the artie stuff at least. :toast:

Danny.
