What it comes down to is choosing the lens for what you shoot the most. :D

I shoot a nikon so no canon lens for me :r
I was actually looking in the Samyang/Bower/Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye. It's manual focus only and is not a circular fisheye. I kinda like the distortion, but this go around it's the marco. Now I need a photo backpack :gary

How big of a back pack do you need? I may have one I need to get rid of.

Hold a camera body with lens plus a couple lenses, batteries, tripod. I kinda want it before I go out of town Friday. I'm gonna hit up Ritz Camera in a bit. Thank you very much though

My fav part is the zipper to get to the camera is on the backside. So nobody is going to try to unzip that baby while I'm in a crowd. Plus it's LIGHT and comfy :tu

It was too rainy to ride the motorcycle today, so I spent the afternoon inside toying with lighting set-ups with my friend Briana:

That new lens takes some beautiful closeups Justin.
I was at Walmart the other day and they are now selling the Lowepro 100. That is going to be my next purchase, I need a comfortable way to carry my stuff, especially with a tripod.

Checkout that Flipside 200. Right now I have my DSLR with the 90mm macro, my 55-200, 50mm f/1.8, charger, spare SD card, and 2 filters. Also holds a tripod.

Thanks for the compliment on the pix. More coming soon :r

I have a nice batch of Morgan dollars like that.


Very nice photos, guys! I have much to learn to make my pics look that professional. :tu So, the question is: How do you guys do it?

1. Learn the Rule of thirds and basic photo composition
2. Learn the relationship of apature to shutter speed to ISO as it relates to your camera. (learn to shoot on manual mode or AV (in canon) mode)
3. Learn how your flash works for different lighting situations and when to use it for the right effect
4. Learn the very basics of PS or the photo editing softwear of your choice.
5. Always have some sort camera with you at all times
6. Take A LOT of pictures.
