Hello

My name is Michael, and I just joined the forum. I have taken a few macro shots in the past with a couple of different lenses (not the best), but have now decided that I'd really like to start getting into it more seriously.

I have a number of questions regarding equipment, and before I go ahead and post them I just want to confirm that I am posting in the right section.

Thanks

Michael

I was so pleased with my first ever macro photograph. Nettles out of focus but the bee looked really sharp to me. Now I know what macro and really sharp means. Since I have been on this site I can only say I have been amazed and astounded at many of the shots I have seen and only hope one day I will be that good. The more I learn the more I need to learn. You think your doing well and then see just what can be done in photography.

Just bought a 2nd hand Tamron AF 70-300mm F4-5.6 DI LD Macro lens for my Nikon D40. I am new to "proper" photography but love some of the macro shots that I've seen and can't wait to try it myself once the weather gets better.

Hi all. I am a keen photographer of all genres but I particularly like nature, wildlife and macro work. I am seeking to improve all the time and am currently working towards an ARPS distinction with the Royal Photographic society, so any constructive critique or suggestions for improvement are always welcome. Having seen the quality of many of the images on ePHOTOzine I am sure it will help me to develop my technique and artistic appreciation.

I have just joined ePHOTOzine after a friend from work recommended the site to me. It's all very nice your family saying "Ohh thats a lovely photo" but I want people to look at my pictures and tell me where I went wrong and how I can improve them! I don't really know what type of photography I like best, so I am trying them all but macro excites me at the moment! For macro stuff I am using a Nikon 105mm and D90 although I am tempted to buy a close up filter to stick on the 105mm as well!

Quote: I wonder if now that autumn means cooler weather, fewer 'togs venture outdoors to bag their macro shots?

It's fungi time, no slow down yet.

Alianar, You shouldnt have to save too long. They are available on Ebay for about 6 bucks and with free shipping. I got 1 Nikon mount and 1 Canon mount each for less than $7 (usd) each from Hong Kong. They are metal and come in 5 parts so you can adjust the extension tube length. They are manual but focusing at marco is something best done manually any way. You should look into it or just go ahead and spend several hundred dollars on a name brand, your choice.
