Nice!

 

yeah, it's pretty similar to yours so if you have any questions let me know. The manual is a good tool to have as well.

What lenses did you get with it? just the 18-55?

 

Epic license plate on the MK3.


Killer shots dude!

 

i know! haha i lol'd when i saw it! haha

thanks dude!

 

Anyone know why some waterdrops come out hazy and others come out clear? This is a really wierd phenomenon I'm seeing today.... I'm wondering if its because since the drop hasn't fallen, the surface tension is 'stretching' until it goes..... and then its crystal clear. I don't know why my pics don't get along with TW btw, its botched from JPG compression.

 

That's sick, I like it a little foggy, but I have no Idea why it is like that. Neither do mine

 

LOVE the watermark actually! I hate when people on photo boards go ape over watermarks. LOOK AT THE PIC!

(Nice shot as well btw)

 

Finally startin to get the hang of this!

 

Loving this one, good shot here.

 

That's sick, what is your set up?

 

well I recommend the 55-250 for a nice reasonably priced telephoto. My next lens will be a 50mm prime though.

 

D200 with Sigma 50mm F/2.8 AIS, used SB-800 as a bounce flash.

 

Others from the same session. Each one I'm chosing a different color filter.







Haven't uploaded these to IG yet so.... you never saw them

 

What did you use as a background?

 

Those are sick, I wanna try!! Lol

 

The faucet is my background You'll need a good macro lens. I am LOVING this one I just picked up for cheap from craigslist. I have a Sigma 70-300 macro that I picked up for 50 bucks that is 'okay' but the image quality isn't that great, and its only 1:2 macro. The 50mm is 1:1 To offset the 1:2, I purchased a set of extension tubes from ebay for 7 bucks. The image quality isn't nearly as good, but it does the job. Here is one from the 70-300.





Macro photography isn't as easy at it looks, the depth of field is hard to get used to. As you can see in this photo, the depth of field is less than ~1/8th of an inch. You can offset by stopping down the shutter, but you really need to crank the ISO up to compensate, especially when the subject is dynamic. I think I shot this at ISO 1600, 300mm, F/4.5, 1/1000s however with the tubes its probably closer to F/8. With my setup, everything is manual focus btw.

 

I've always liked these shots as well as smoke shots

 

Annnddd. You just gave me another idea.
