We're probably going to start cutting threads off at about 10,000 posts. It's strictly to lighten the burden on the server.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Hey chief, are you gonna whack off the TPBM (the actual game in competitions) and SMGG? Those are pretty long. I bet it will ease the server a bit to archive those too.

To start the new thread on a good note, I have finally tried my new tubes...

But one more week to wait until I can really play with them (I need my tripod...)

I think you will find tubes are lots of fun.

They seem to be. I'm really quite impressed! I can't wait to be able to test them outside ;-)a

The good thing about tubes is that really short focusing distance on the 50mm. I means you can rest your forearm on the table/whatever and use measured wrist action to move the camera up and down to fine tune the focusing. It makes for pretty steady hand holding.

I hardly ever use a tripod for macro work.

for this shot, I just laid the camera oon the table. But I feel a tripod may come handy for some shots. Anyway, I'll have to experiment and learn. A lot of fun in perspective ;-)a

You guys desperately need some wall decor. Sheesh. YOu call yourselves photographers? And with only one photo on the walls? ;) Get to decorating.
If you want, I can run on down to the thrift store and pick you up a nice set of painted fruit hangings. :p
