Random pics with new lens...

[photobret]

Not my best work as my tripod is currently out of action. Just got a 100mm Macro, its been a very long time since I shot macro stuff and without a tripod it sucks big time. High ISO to get a good depth of field but Noise becomes an issue. Enjoi the few pics. Much better ones coming later.

I got mine from Samy's, they had a tax free weekend but I would go online and get one from BH photo Video. There are other options, the sigma is also a very nice lens and worth looking into price wise. I used the Canon 100mm for this stuff and its great, expensive though. Sigma will run you a bit less and will work just fine IMHO.

Money no object: Canon 40D with a Canon 100mm Macro

On a budget: Canon Xti with a 105mm Sigma Macro

Both are awesome combos and will do in any situation. The 40d is a better camera but it depends on what you want to do long term.

Since I'm on a budget i think I'll look up on the Canon XTi, i just want cool looking coral pictures . Do you know a place that sells it at a cheap price? thanks

photobret, on the "point and shoot" cameras, doesn't Nikon work better at macro than Canon?

I used to have my brother's old Nikon and took some really nice macro shot whereas with the Canon it wasn't as good. We're talking about using the same photographer ( ---> me.... so the variable lacking must be the camera?

I have an old Nikon CoolPix 995 that is INCREDIBLE at macros. Unfortunately, the working distance is really short.

Can anyone put up a Picture taken with a Nikon before making my decesion on what camera to get? haha

 

[photobret]

My fuji Finepic f30 blows me away everytime! I'll find some pics and show you. I have had pictures published double page spread on that little camera and it beats Canon and Nikon as far as shutter lag. It also does 3200 ISO!

 

[Warner Marine]

VERY impressive pictures... nice frags too!
