I want to get a 105 macro. I have been looking at the AI-S model. I do all my macro manually and I don't need the AFS series. What is the going price for that model? My 85mm DX isn't cutting it for me. Great lens but need more reach.

I am thinking of trading in my 85mm DX macro for either the older 105mm/2.8 or Tamron 90mm/2.8. Any suggestions?? The 85 is great just want a little faster and reach. Especially with 610. I might even add it to my 3100 as a package to sell.

I had spinal surgery over 5 years ago. 2 discs removed and a plate put in place.I knew things were not going to be perfect after. I returned to work 4 months later. Now, 5 years later I have arthritis building up on the good disc above and below. Today I have an MRI and on Tuesday I see the...

I will be doing some comparison tests with my 610. This morning I took a 3 bracket shot. Here is a test for you. Which picture is HDR and which one is a single shot? Since the 610 has a wide dynamic range is I do believe why it only has 3 shot bracket.

I know there are issues with the 600. But, I have no problem cleaning the sensor. Would you dare get the 600 over the 610. I see it is a few hundred cheaper and I see the refurbished on Nikon for 500 less. I got my 300s last year and had spot issues. I just cleaned it and it was fine.

I have come to the decision to get the 610. I can get the camera with a 24-85 and 70-300 for around $2800 or I have been looking at getting a 35-70mm 2.8D instead. I already have a manual 24mm vivitar 2.2, a 35mm 2D,50mm 1.8D. Also a few lower grade lenses. My question is is how is the...

I figured I would start my water drop thread. But, I plan to improve on my set up as I go. As many as I am going to do I will do 2 a day till I run out

I got permission to get a new camera. I will have enough to jump into a 610 or do I wait and save the extra for the 800. The 610 sounds good. I have enough lenses for fx to start. 35,50,35-70,70-300, 24mm and 28mm manual. I would also sell my 3100 with the 18-55 for a few bucks. I will keep my...

There are so many time I wish I had my camera and yesterday was one of them. I was delivering my route and heading back to my truck. I look up above me about 30 feet in a tree was a large hawk. Usually they fly off when I get that close. Also around 20 minutes later near sunset, I see a halo...

I recently told you my son in-laws grandfather passed away. I only knew him a short time. He was a Steuben Glass blower for many years. He stayed active in glass blowing after retirement, forming his own small glass shop and helping a local glass company. I got the privilege to see him help make...

Here is my first shot

OK!! When some of you get a picture published in a magazine, what would you charge for the picture or pictures. This is a big publication tourist magazine for the area.

We will do it this way. The first person to guess the picture puts up the next picture. I will go first.

I have lived and worked in this area most my life. The town I live in now(Corning) will be in Forbes Magazine. There is a video at the bottom of the page showing the business section I have been delivering for the past 12 years. There is a lot to do in this area 100 miles around from the Finger...

I haven't had much time to post in my daily. I have posted pictures in macro and insects quite a bit. there are times I have photos to post that pertain to me and not basic subjects I shot. Like today for instance. I was out shooting insects and macro. When a truck pulled up behind me and...

While shooting macro you sometimes catch a shot that throws you or surprised you caught the shot you did. In the first picture I was trying my hand at ants.( not so easy) I noticed this ant acting as if it got stepped on, rolling around. I got him in focus and took the shot. When I got to the...

I decided to open my own forum on macro. When I do post the shots I will post the camera and settings. Also I will try to post daily. I will post old stuff if I don't get out to shoot. God knows I have a lot of photos.

I owned many point and shoots and a couple of Bridge cameras. I learned the basics over the years to shoot a decent picture. When I got my first Nikon over two years ago.( a d3100) I figured I would give this picture taking a go toward professional pictures to sell. I grabbed my 3100 and started...
