    those are amazing. the first and second ones are the best IMO. where are these taken?

    reminds me of the Rockies for sure, doesn't entirely look like them though

    I really like the second photo and especially all of your black and white captures . .. :)

    Loving the shots, but only two are macro.

    Your photos just made my eyes orgasm. :smoke:

    What kind of camera do you use?

    just a simple nikon d70 and a underwater point and shoot

    Nice I have the same camera, what kinda of lens do you prefer? I have been looking around for my next one but I'm not sure what I want.

    I just bought a 55-200mm and I have a 18-50mm that came with the kit.

    i used to own more lenses, i had a 70-200 2.8 af sigma (loved it) I have a 2.8 105mm Sigma Macro with AF, and the 18-70mm kit lense.

    if i could have any setup i would get a 50mm 1.4, an 18-70 2.8 (or something similiar) and a 70-200 2.8 vr

    Do you use any flashes?

    I had a SB-600 until the batteries exploded and fried the circuit board. I was thinking of getting another one but a part of me wants to try a different one maybe.


    It's crazy how expensive some lenses can get, but I have stumbled across some cheap ones online. But I'm a little skeptic to buy a used lens since online since I normally like to test it before I buy it.

    Not macro photography, but great shots nonetheless my friend. :smoke:

    A Vivitar 285HV goes for about $85 from what I've seen. Way cheaper than any Canon or Nikon brand strobe and just as powerful too.

    I never use this flash for TTL metering (use it in full manual), but It may support TTL metering (just never have had a use for it).

    That flash bounces and has different telephoto settings, it pretty much does anything. (except for swivel)

    Wow those are amazing, I especially like the 3rd one, looks very psychedelic :smoke:

    used to have a 600 n 800 but sold them
     
  17. #17 Leesh, Jan 3, 2011
    Which of the two did you prefer when you had them? I have only been able to get my hands on a 600.
     
  18. #18 Dreadlocker, Jan 4, 2011
    800 for sure but both were good. i used the 800 on camera as a commander and used the 600 wireless and could control its settings on the 800.

    :)

    Neat, I haven't had a opportunity to use two flashes. Is it difficult to set up?

    Sorry for all the questions, I just don't come across hands on experience. :D

    it is as difficult as you make it. a basic understanding of light ratios and studio photography will help
