I see. I used to work with all of this stuff, but since I have not done it for 3-4 months I have not read any of the spec sheets. I know that was usually the first thing I looked for (Manual lens support) if a new body from Nikon came out.

Thank you for the comments on the water shot. Since the rain ruined my plans to change the starter in my car, I felt the need to make the best of it.

Thats really neat!!

heres one of my water drop pics (click to see it bigger)....

Cool shots! I think I have seen some of those before, and that was a bit of inspiration for me.

Here are some older shots:

Both of these are pictures of water on the same flower. Taken with a Sigma 105MM EX Macro, which is slowly becomming my most used lens.

Since we're on water shots, here's some I took last night. I really need to fly my tripod out here... :mad:

More coming...

I like the second one. That's a lot better then I could do hand-held in those lighting conditions!

I was leaning on anything I could find!

nice pics, i like ur fountain ones

Good capture, but the shadow in the back is distracting. I don't get to play around with a flash too much, since my one speedlight does not work with my D70, and the built-in flash does not clear most of my Sigma lenses.

I did discover a while back that bouncing the flash, or using something like a Sto-Fen flash diffuser can give you a more natural looking light along with reducing the occurance of shadows.

Yeah, I try to avoid using it as much as possible. I couldn't lean on anything there, so I was forced to use it. I'm going to be back and forth out here through February, so I'll end up taking a bunch of shots for real once I figure out the tripod situation.

Here's the whole thing...it was pretty funny. :mrgreen:

1...you're a tool
2...you're late
3...it won't win...haha j/k

Haha thats a cool pic jspek.

Can't wait to see what all the entries look like.

It's a nice shot, but did you mean to shoot at 1400 ISO?? It's got more noise than a rock concert. :devil:

Also, if it was framed differently (about an inch from the left moved to the right and maybe 1/4"-1/2" from the bottom to the top) it would be even better.

^^I would have voted for it then^^ :mrgreen:

Here's some macro and other nature stuff
