Sdfish - that parrot picture is AWESOME, very nice colors and detail. Where did you take those lion shots?
Nice shots Reefman, gotta love that color, I think reds come through especially nice.
Ramtheory - I need to get out to White Sands, looks amazing.
Steeltown - that's just creepy.
Where the hell did you find that toe!

i found that with a nikon, if you want something that will fit your hands... you gotta put out at least 2500 for the d300...
with canon... you can get a 5d with 100mm macro lens for 2000 - 2500.
and... yes canon fan. :lol:

To each their own. I'm pretty happy with my D80 myself. Nikon is putting out some cameras now that easily compete against Canon in the quality to price ratio. The D700 comes to mind.
wasn't knocking you, just commenting on the large C-A-N-O-N above your post.

I used the method described here
http://www.popphoto.com/howto/2508/you-can-do-it-how-to-photograph-water-drops.html
I used 2 quantary slave flashes that cost $20 each and 1 old vivitar flash to trigger the 2 slave flashes. I also suggest shooting at f/11 instead of f/4-5 like the article suggests. the extra DOF allows a little more flexibility in where the drop lands. that way you can crop it down later. also, shoot in RAW format so you can adjust exposure alittle in photoshop after you take the shot.

Bring sun-glasses :thumbsup: we apparently got there just before and stayed for a freak thunderstorm. Even the Park Ranger was saying this really never happens. Made for some cool pics with the colors. On a normal day it will be very bright with all of the white gypsum sand
Make sure to be there for a sunrise or sunset as this provides some wicked shots with all of the colors. If I would have had more time. I would have figured out how to capture the color of the sand as the sun sat behind the mountains.my kids playing during sunset

im actually looking into a D700 myself... just need to find out if i can afford the professional lenses the full frame needs... cant use the normal ones anymore, so i spend maybe 4x on lens with D700.

Nikon D200, 105mm micro Nikkor VR f2.8, 28-70mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8
Canon Powershot A610
I used to shoot with a Canon EOS650 and absolutely loved it as well!
it's not the camera, it's the photographer. If anything, I like Nikon's button arrangement and ease of switching settings on the fly. BUT, I agree with Ummm, fish? the 5X canon is better than anything Nikon offers right now, which sucks since I love macro aka larger than life!
My next two lenses will be (not neccesarily in this order) the 70-200 f2.8 VR Nikkor & 400mm f2.8 Nikkor and a teleconverter II in there somewhere. Any recommendations? I also want to get a ring flash set up or just the speedlight SB-200's so I can hand hold them to apply lighting wherever I so choose.
Cheers,
Scott

nice pictures. How do you like the D200?
And some new pictures from today. Taken with my Sigma 105 Macro and my D80. No post processing or cropping. I'm pretty happy with the colors.

good old natural light through a window. Flowers were in a vase and I simply turned the vase to get the light how I wanted. I have actually never really used a flash though I'm interested in learning how to.
Thanks!
Thanks!
