[AlexColeman]

I was hoping to get C&C on some macro shots I took in San Diego.

No problem, just using what I brought, D700 is w/ Nikon being aligned for my 24-70, so I have had to shoot the whole trip DX

Neither are DX.

I do not have my D700 with me. It is with Nikon to be serviced (lol). All I have is a d90. and some of my lenses. I can use text modifications to, .

WOW....these are simply INCREDIBLE! I went to your smugmug, and omg the bee one is insane. You have convinced me to get the 105... that's my next lens.

 

[AlexColeman]

Thanks alot, you will love the 105!

Wow, those are amazing! I absolutely envy you being able to take that bee photograph, I can never get them that pin-sharp with that much detail! How on earth did you do it? I'm curious.

My second favourite is the first one, the sunflower's petals. The backlighting is wonderful, although i would prefer it with some more of the petals in focus, to really show the exquisite detail.

#1 and 5 are my favorites. They are more about color photography than flowers.

#2 is a very nice bee shot and #4 is a very interesting plant and nicely shot too.

#3 is the only one that doesn't do it for me. Too much negative space.

Thanks guys.
Tamiya- I just used a 900 at 1/64 to freeze motion, and careful sharpening with Phototools 2 plugin, thanks for the advice.
Cloud- 3 was iffy for me to, just curious what the reactions would be.
Thanks again.
