One for today...
haven't had much of a chance to shoot recently so for now I'll post some older shots:
From my visit to Philadelphia in Sept '07. Citizens Bank Park (if your a baseball fan,,,, I LOVE THIS PARK!!! My favorite of 8 that I've visited thus far)
great white balance evad...perfect white
i came over to the dark side to peek at the photos but phtojojo had a nice help for that, you get a black 5 gallon bucket( plastic) drill a hole on one side for a tripod screw( you can use an old tripod or get a cheapy one) and cut a notch in the lip of the bucket on the same side as you put the tripod screw. put the bucket on the tripod, the plant in the notch and no wind and nice dark background for macro shots of plants.Nothing very interesting, but I decided to try out my first tripod as well as the new 60mm f/2.8 Micro I got for Christmas. I can definitely see a difference in how sharp the photo is full-sized, but geeez...who knew macro could be so tough? One breeze you can't even feel throws the whole thing out of whack!!

I'm really enjoying these pictures. Evad, wish I could shoot with my D80 like that. Sooooooo clear and sharp!
Haven't posted this one in a few years.
Nikon D50 with Quantaray 70-300mm lens:
it was on my old computer and now i can't find it of course...if i ever get my made or find it i'll post a photo or linkThat's a great suggestion, any chance there are instructions online? I'm definitely "one of those" who unfold the instructions when I get a cheap piece of furniture or anything to look at the pictures of how to put it together. It was my first try with my micro lens, so hopefully once I get the hang of it---bucket or not---I'll be able to get some acceptable shots.
