    Honestly. That would make a nice magazine cover shot. :thumbsup:

    Thanks! She's the love of my life. My girlfriend understands that my niece comes first before any other female in my life.

    Prof, thanks as well! What's interesting is that I took the shot while not even looking through the eyepiece. I put the camera low to the ground and just started snapping. When I reviewed the shots, my jaw dropped when I saw this one. Just captures the innocence and wide-eyed wonderment of a child so well.

    Very nice Seth. Composition, framing, contrast, color compliments, lighting - it all came together. Of course, Nikon optics help also give an edge.

    A few macro shots I took, color corrected in Photoshop. Nikon D50. 70mm focal length, 1/60th shutter, f4.5, with flash (-0.33eV). It's hard to tell, but in the third pic, the spider's eating a bug it just caught in the web.

    Time for a thread revival.
    This is a lightbulb in a coffeymug, reflected by the light. Handheld macroshot, extremely closeup. The lens is almost inside the actual mug. Taken in Raw, auto levelled, slighly cropped to be smaller size and converted to .jpg.

    F10, 50mm, 1/13 shot, ISO 200.
    Canon EOS 30D, Sigma 50mm.

    Man, handheld macros really takes the fatigue out of you fast.

    I'll be taking some pics with this peni-- lens soon.

    Sigma 170-500 APO DG. Definitely has to be tripod mounted and requires 86mm filters, which sucks. Since my camera is not a full-frame sensor, it's the 35mm equivalent to a 255-750 lens. That's some serious magnification.

    I hope you will be more lucky with your Sigma than i am. I can't get a sharp keeper even if my life depended on it. On all focal ranges too. I need to stop it down to like F11 for a decent crisp shot. That is not why i bought a f2.8 70-200 lens. I pretty much have the same issues with a 17-50 f2.8 from Sigma too. I just got a 50mm Canon prime f1.4 and the difference is enormous. TACK sharp at 1.8 and after that and very good at 1.4 as well.

    I wish i could afford some L glass with reach.

    I've heard people mention that Sigmas are kind of soft. I hope to put the lens through its paces today. Of course you're going to get better results with primesN but that's why they're so expensive. I'm not sure why I went for Sigma over Tamron considering my favorite lens is my 70-300 Tamron I took the dragonfly pic with. We'll see how the lens does today and if it's a bust I'll trade it in for a Tamron.

    Can't wait for a little review bro.

    You cannot hand-hold this thing under 1/1000th shutter speed. There's a reason why there's a difference between $700 glass and $7000 glass.

    I agree. I even struggle with the 70-200. Sigmas go well with beanbags though. The regular walmart tripod is useless. A fat Manfrotto is whats needed on these glasses.

    I'd forgotten I took this picture skiing. Taken with a canon point-n-shoot.

    My son is getting a new Canon 12.2mp digital SLR and I think I'm going to buy his old Canon Rebel XT 8.1mp. I've never owned a digital SLR, but I want one. I don't know anything about photography but this camera might give me reason to actually learn something. There are some many lenses and stuff available that it's mind-boggling. I would really like to take some nice photographs from the porch of the wildlife that visits our pond about 300 feet away.

    Okay, I saw Seth mention Tamron lenses as being a good thing. Any thought on these lenses for the Canon Rebel XT? Knowing pretty much nothing about it, this seems like a good deal on a couple of good lenses. There are pictures at the bottom of the eBay listing supposedly taken with these lenses.

    TIA for input.

    These are big, so just the links. Took these on two separate occasions at the Bronx Zoo. If anybody can ID the bird from the first two pics, let me know.
