What kind of camera do you have? Those closeups are bad ass.

Boss · 12-13-2007, 01:39 AM

Ok, the mirror is now covered ;-) I used the back side of heavy duty tin foil.

Nikon with a Nikkor lense, only 3.4 megapixels, but man I can take some good shots when I am not all shakey. Those are ok shots, but with the macro, and a tripod it gets better. But- Thank you :-)

I just re-arranged the whole place to fit 6 babies and the 3 girls. Made sure the lights cant fall... That drop is gonna cost me in yield i think, it took off a main leaf on the sativa, but it will be fine. It could have been soooo much worse :-)

PS. I am so glad you all are here :-) I would get lost! Thank you!

HHGreenHand · 12-13-2007, 02:50 AM

One of my teachers used to use the same setup. You aren't him, are you? He was a role model but unless you can run an offset press, its not you... He was a great guy. And knew how to handle a camera. Taught me alot. Praise the tripod.

Billy Blica · 12-13-2007, 10:05 AM

yeah im lovin those close ups, cant wait to see your close ups of bud too!

Boss · 12-13-2007, 12:30 PM

Oh ya man, it's my first grow, you KNOW I will have some sweet bug shots up close and personal. I'm gonna take so many pics they are gonna kick me off the gallery :-)

Boss · 12-13-2007, 11:03 PM

Ok it's day 7 in flower, I will take some pics after they have had some light. I am gonna get the tripod out and take some pics of the female preflowers at this stage so people will have an Idea of sexing their plants. I have seen a few here, but I would like to get some very detailed shots. My sativa dominant has some drooping old growth, and I am not sure what it is, could be overwatering, im not sure yet. Anyway, pics up asap.

Pics are up, post em as soon as approved. You gonna like these :-)

(Sorry bout the foil in this one)

Botany is a beautiful thing and you my friend have a green thumb.

Boss · 12-14-2007, 02:06 AM

Wish I could bring my bushy plant upstairs into the house, but...

Thank you :-)

HHGreenHand · 12-14-2007, 02:18 AM

Great shots, man. The large shot of your bush has some great depth.

berrydizzle · 12-14-2007, 02:49 AM

Damn man, I thought I took good pictures...

That camera must be bad ass, but I have never used a tripod.

And they are looking great man, that canopy shot is rediculous, so big!!

PFlynn · 12-14-2007, 02:49 AM

Whats up Greenhand? Props to Boss I'll try and Rep you but prob too soon spread the love and all but good stuff my friend.

HHGreenHand · 12-14-2007, 03:09 AM

That depth comes from the tripod and the stability of the camera. I've gotta get mine out for my next shots.

Boss · 12-14-2007, 04:59 AM

Bushy was supercropped about a week and 1/2 before going to 12/12 and it really paid off. She has tons of flower sites, and even though her main stem in at least 1/2" thick, I think she will need a web of string to hold them up unless she really starts to push up and starts to thicken those side stems.

Thanks for the kind words, makes it all worth while!

Do a search for a coolpix 880 by nikon, it's old, only 3.4mp but takes better shots then my sony 5mp. It is the lense, Nikkor makes fantastic lenses. You can have a 10mp camera, but with a cheap lense, you got nothin. My wife won an award taking a photo of my late dog with this camera, and was published in a book!

HHGreenHand · 12-14-2007, 03:44 PM

I've used them before and youre absolutely right. The lense rocks. Most of the popular digital cameras that are less expensive are more used for point and click shots and no real pohotgraphy. Kinda sad but a step in the right direction, still. 50 years from now we'll be walking around in the pictures we take with our live-action, still camera shots.

Boss · 12-15-2007, 12:46 AM

I have a question. My sativa/mix chick has always been very picky about water and nutes, and she seems generally healthy. However some of the lower and middle large fans are folding in half length ways. There is no yellowing, they are green, and the rest of the plant is doing well. I'll throw a pic up if needed. I gave her some bloom boost 2 days ago, thinking maybe she needed some N, but it's still the same.

I did supercrop her a week and 1/2 before flowering, and made sure she was recovered before going to 12/12. She is just a finicky bitch :-) Any Ideas?

Ahh, if you look at the image on page 7, she is top left and you can see how some of the fans are. Thanks!
