Here is my first macro session in the wild

Slightly underexposed :/
Anyone know it's ID?

Busy red ant

Spider in its natural environment

fmarek, sorry, somehow I missed seeing this post earlier.

I am in the embarrassing position of A) not knowing the IDs of any of your subjects, and B) having to point out that this post exceeds the standard limit of 3 images per day in the image galleries.

It's very common for new members to go over the limit, and in this case I've managed to not notice the post for so long that the limit is moot.

In other words, no problem, but please remember the limit for next time.

Aside from the IDs, is there some particular sort of feedback that you'd like about these images?

Uhh.. So I allowed to post max 3 external urls at a time?

As things stand you can post as many external URLs as you want but only three embedded images per day per gallery forum...

On your "slightly underexposed" one can't you just increase the exposure in Post Processing? One of the big advantages of digital is being able to easily manipulate exposure on computer afterwards. It's always better to slightly underexpose than overexpose in digital since you can't do much with burnt out highlights.

Hi DaveW.

Its also after PP. And one of the big disadvantages of digital imaging is the issue when the same img looks different at different monitors

Probably due to its calibration. On my working laptop its looks more underexposed comparing to LCD at home (where I did PP)

What if I send you original img, maybe you could come up with better results in PP?

If you don't want to buy a hardware calibrator there are plenty of freebie monitor calibrators on the Web if you do a search:-
