The second picture is very nice (and a little bit frightening).

Really nice! His expression is kinda freaky though; I wouldn't want to be in his vicinity... :D

Thanks everyone!
Thank you! I used a narrower aperture because I thought this would increase the DOF a bit more and thus the details of the distant part of the mushroom. I was lucky that I could just place the camera on the ground, but for other subjects I should really consider buying myself a tripod if I want to use slower shutter speeds :D

Thank you everyone :D
Thanks! Yesterday I ordered the SMC Pentax-M 50mm F1.7. I have read and seen great things about it, so I look forward to playing with it :D

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was shooting pictures in a forest close to my home, and then I came across this beautiful red gem :) Fortunately I could position the camera on the ground and keep it more or less still, allowing me to keep the ISO level within boundaries. I decided to make the non-subject part of the photo black and white to accent the mushroom.
50mm, f8, ISO 800, 1/13s

Nice pictures. I flew with a Q400 previous week and was impressed by its comfort :) It wasn't pink though, unfortunately.

Thank you all for the kind words and tips. I will definitely use them!
And special thanks to Vitalii for your detailed information. I will do some more research on macro photography and read some reviews on lenses. Your advice will definitely help me in deciding which lens to buy. Oh, and I really like the detail on the spider photo. Was it alive?
After an extremely busy week I will finally have some time to shoot again tomorrow, can't wait! :D

Thank you all!
Thank you, that's very informative. I'm currently looking for a second hand macro lens, though it is often hard to find reviews for old lenses. Perhaps you (or someone else) has some recommendations?

Hi everyone,
Recently I bought my first DSLR: a Pentax K-50 with the DA L 18-55mm F3.5/5.6 kit lens. I have to say that this camera is a true delight to shoot with and I am very happy with its performance, though I obviously still have a lot to learn to get familiar with its true powers :)
Last weekend I got a chance to play with my new toy and started experimenting in Manual mode right away. I would like to share three photos that I shot that day. The first two are my first attempt at macro photography. While they are not as sharp as I want, I do like the bokeh behind the pink flower and the general "dreamy" effect of this picture. The flowers were shot at f/4.0 and f/5.4, respectively. Is my assumption correct that, if I would have used a lower aperture, the objects would have been sharper? Of course, I would have had to compensate with ISO and/or shutter speed.
The last picture is a typical Dutch windmill. There I used a lower aperture to catch more details.
Any critique/tips/comments are welcome.
I look forward to posting on this forum!
Cheers,
crispic
