Macro Photography Mania!

[ervine]

Hi guys,

Recently fell ill so had a lot of time at home doing nothing.. so took out my D70 and newly bought Sigma 70-300mm to take a few shots.... managed to improve over my previous firefish photo by using a slave flash to push shutter speeds to 1/500 (fastest flash sync)...

erm.. ok enough mumbo jumbo.. here are some pics.. edited for colour and contrast in PS...

Enjoy!

NOOO!!.. MUST RESIST!!!... MUST BUY REEF STUFF TOO!!

But seriously I actually thinking the next lens will be a 50mm f1.8... then with that I reverse it to get my macro... cheap and versitile...

But first I need to get meself a decent flash.. the one I using now is a fully manual flash which I don't even dare to mount on my camera's hotshoe... I think it's 10yrs old!!

When can I get my D70.

[roidan]

ervine: SB800 will solve your flash needs for a long time

jc85: now is the best time...DSLRs have never been so affordable

D70 kit around 1.6k region...D70 body around 1.2k region....

....succumb to your desires

[Dispar_Anthias]

Yah d70 cheap and good.... i may have lobang for it(cos my dad's fren open camera shop)... hmm i go ask first the price to confirm

Too expensive leh... will probably go for the SB600 instead...

Did u know the built in flash can be used as a commander for the SB600/800? Cool right? And I don't mean just slave flash....

Oh and did anyone notice old grumpy (clown) hosts itself in a hammer? That's not an anenome....
