so...i'm somewhat of a noob. i've been shooting for about 2 years, but just got this d7000 in july. i haven't had as much time lately to shoot, and when i have, i've been a little pressed for time.
i'm leaving for NYC at the end of sept for 8 days of nothing to do but shoot pictures. i feel like i've got a handle on most of what i can do except for macro shooting. i don't know how to set the camera to shoot in macro mode and i don't know if i have the appropriate lenses to shoot with. i currently have a nikkor 50mm 1.8, a nikkor 55-200, and a sigma 18-55mm lens that came on my d70.
i've been out a couple of times and thought i had some good opportunities to get really close on my subject, but i couldn't get focused at close range.
i looked for a video on youtube that might explain it, but there didn't seem to be anything...so i thought i'd join here and see what some pros might have to offer.
thanks in advance...
