    How much are you selling for? How much is it going for in retail? I have an offer for a brand new @ $580 w/o GST. Is it worth it?

    Hi there, I currently have the trusty ol' D70 with its 18-70mm kit lens and a 50mm as well. I am not a professional photographer but I do enjoy taking photos with the D70, especially during family gatherings. I've been having this issue for some time and I thought to try and resolve it...

    Macro using 55-250mm IS + Raynox 250

    The lens has to be enormouslly close to the subjects right?

    Raynox DCR-250??

    I really can't imagine going so close to an insect, etc. to take a picture. Wouldn't the creature run away if you go too close?

    I have to admit that some of the images up there are less than desirable in my own opinion as well. Strangely, it looked so different on my D70's preview LCD and how it was on the computer. I did a photo print of some of those photos and they do look different from the computer as well. Some of...

    Next place I would want to make a stop at. Really lovely pictures you got there. By the way, Manda, love your underground series shot in your portfolio. I'm so drawn to strong powerful lines. Wish I can compose and capture like you.

    Yeah it has but I had trouble keeping really steady as I was shivering! Fringes of winter is still brrrrrr! Thanks for the heads up about the bottle. Come to think of it, it was quite funny really. You see things like that 286 metres above sea level where it would take 45 mins to an hour to...

    Got some queries about the budget of SGD3200 so I'll just put the skeleton here: Took Brunei Airways, transit about 1.5hours in Brunei all the way to Brisbane. Proceeded to travel to Cairns via Virgin Blue. When we were done in Cairns, we took a greyhound down to Townsville. From Townsville was...

    Really good eye you have there. Yeah the ghosting for 12 seems to be the worst. I tried to merge some of them as the vast terrain and harsh lighting made it difficult to capture what I wanted with my limited knowledge of exposur-ing. I love 13 as well, liked the little house on the top of the...
