Hi everyone, I've been getting into close up insect photography for a few years using a diopter on my kit lens and am finally looking into purchasing a true macro lens. Can anyone make any lower cost recommendations of what might be appropriate for my needs. Im using a Canon 500D body which I...

Hey Everyone, I just had a great weekend experimenting with my 105mm macro lens and a highspeed camera using water, lighter fuel and soap. Lighting up those bubble led to great small Fire Balls and quite cool macro shots. Have you ever tried those of similar shots? What do you think of it? I...

While having nothing to do at night I decided to take out the camera and do some random shows, here is one taken With my D600 on a 28-106mm lens. Please let me know how it could improve I wish I could have gotten the smoke more in focus tho.

Hello, I have questions, I am making some texture for one of the games that I play. I want to make my own ultra graphic texture pack but, for now, I am using macro objective and my question is what is best macro 40mm Nikkor or normal 18-55mm objective. How to take good macro with nice looking...

Hi everyone! I just became a father for the 2nd time today and I was thinking in investing on a macro lens to get those sweet details of the baby. But I've found out that I could just get a extension tube for the same purpose. Have anyone out there used one or have any info about these...

Just a quick hello and thank you for the great forum and amazing pictures. As I head on into my late fifties I find that many of my Fathers interests have become my own. I always had a passing interest in his 35 mm & assorted equipment through the 60's to the 90's. I can only imagine how...

It's been many, many years since I've last taken a picture of a Dragonfly. A friend of mine (who is a photographer) said once you find one and it if it flies away, just wait. They always come back to the same spot. That's exactly what I did in this case and sure enough, it came back to same...

Took a short walk last light during golden hour, it was so quiet too. You can hear all the critter rustling in the bushes and birds chirpings. No planes...no cars, it was just peaceful. Took the XT2 + 60 2.4

I've been in a bit of a funk lately. I haven't really used my camera in a while, heck I even went places to take photos and didn't even take my camera out of the bag or removed the lens cap. I don't know, I just didn't see anything that really sparked my interest. It kind of made me feel...

When I took this I kind of thought it looked like fireworks and had to share! Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4 f/5.6, 1/1000th, ISO 320

A simple shot today to share. I took a quick evening walk and noticed this one and only lonely buttercup just sitting there in the light asking me to take a picture of it, so I did. Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4 Macro f/2.8, 1/1000th, ISO 320 Cheer Up, Buttercup by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I've always wanted to get a shot of Fiddleheads and I have millions of them around my house but I was always too late. So this spring I went out everyday looking for them and finally managed to get a few shot of one Fiddlehead that I really liked that was nearly perfect. So here's a few frames...

I debated where I should share this photo but I ultimately decided to place it in the b&w gallery because when I took this shot I deliberately wanted it to be in black & white. I was walking about and noticed this tiny big chilling out on top of one of these leafs from a blooming tree and for...

I searched for a while trying to find the perfect one. There are thousands of these wild violet flowers all over my lawn. I managed to find this one that was almost all alone and had a clean background. It's kind of simple and clean shot which is what I was going for. Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4...

Finally managed to get a decent shot of a bumble bee. I must say, these are not easy to capture. But I'm going to keep trying and trying till I get that winning shot I want. Thought I'd share this one anyways. Took it toward the end of the day as the sun was going down and spent a good 45...

Nevermind wrong thread... sorry.

This coming Sunday I'm going to be going out with some friends to photograph a site that has literally thousands of daffodils then will be going to a site that has the same amount of Trilliums blooming here in Ontario Canada. I want to get the best shots possible with my Fujifilm Finepix S5200...

Pretty breezy out now, but I do like a challenge in macro when the wind is up. X-T20 + XF 18-55mm on the 11.

Any suggestions for my best option under $500? I'm open to used. I'm looking in the 90mm to 105mm range - newborn work. I'd love the Nikon 105/2.8 but even used its out of my budget. Any experiences with the Tokina 100mm? Tamron 90mm? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I've been thinking about upgrading my current system sometime over the coming months and I was interested to know if whether any brand does macro better than the other? I currently use a Nikon D3200 paired with my sigma 105mm macro but I have been thinking for a little while about...

Afternoon everyone. I've been thinking about upgrading my Nikon D3200 at some point (not the immediate future, I need time to save and do homework) and mostly shoot and enjoy wildlife, especially macro. Primarily I'd like advice and recommendations for a camera that would be best suited for...

Greetings, The following four photos are all of the same still life entitled: "The Chips are Down". Each has been edited in different ways and manners and I like each in their own way. As an amateur photographer I like and appreciate others thoughts and C&C. Thus this Poll. Thanks in advance...

This was take, with my phone, right before we got hit with Hurricane Irma. Hope he made it!

Thought I would share a few more with the Forum and thanks for looking. Seems like a real nice group of people. C&C welcomed[/ATTACH]

Yep, woke up to a little bit of frost this morning. I even had to dig out my winter hat from the closet. I apologize in advance if this photo gives you chills. Nikon D610 + 70-200 f/4 VR 200mm, 1/250th, f/5.6, ISO 500 Maybe it's time for me to get that macro lens back in my possession now...

Anyone tried filming in macro? Just made a start, does anyone have suggestions/ideas? Used to photographing in macro but never filming. Does anyone know some tips on how to get a better depth of field? Hooked on videos like this!:

Hi all. I have an a6000 and I recently got their 30mm macro lens and I want to do some flower photography with it. The problem is that my hands shake so I need a tripod that I can put on my dining room table and will let me get very close to the table. I saw some of the ball joint looking...

Another macro flower from my portfolio. This subject and a couple of others were just sitting outside the Rye Patch on the front steps as I wandered past one warm Spring afternoon a few years back. I really couldn't resist such an attractive flower. Techs: Canon 5D F/22 1.3 seconds 180mm No Flash
