It was taken in Maine at an old war bunker. It had some cool spots.

Just the little auto lens set in the 'macro' setting for the A580...

A regular macro lens is really nice as it brings out much detail in your subject...

Another alternative is extension tubes for SLR lenses.

Ones by Kenko seem to be effective for the Canon crowd. Not sure what there is for the Nikons though.

Re: Photography Thread

I settled on a Nikon D5000... I'll be adding some pics to this thread with that camera soon. The ones prior were taken with a Canon Rebel XS.

Re: Photography Thread

Switching from canon to Nikon will be a disappointment I'm afraid.
Not to start anything. I Love my Nikon D40X and EM but I love my Canon G10 more. :ss

Re: Photography Thread

I took this last week while on vacation in Savannah, GA. It was taken in Bonaventure Cemetery - the dates on the markers are mostly mid-1800s.

Re: Photography Thread

I switched from my a Canon 30D to a Nikon D90.... couldnt be happier. The D90 just felt more natural. Im not really sure why the battle between the two happens... They both take great pictues! Why cant we all just get along!!!!! haha

Seriously though.... I think both companies make great cameras and its just a personal preference between them. The nikon just felt better in my hand.... no regrets!

Re: Photography Thread

Going from a POS Nikon to a Pro Level Canon is a huge difference no matter who is using it.

I guess to me it just seems like the photographer matters more than the camera.... I would much rather see a photo from a POS Nikon/Canon taken by a pro photographer, than from a Pro Level Canon/Nikon in the hands of a beginner.

Ive seen some pretty amazing pictures from the low end D40s and Rebels......
