i dont want anything more. its already too much for me :( the only thing i wont mind is, instead of putting more things in if they could only drop all prices by 50% :bsmilie:

with the reverse ring, you cannot use MF ring on the lens. set the MF to infinity and focus by moving the camera. so, effectively, there is only one subject distance available to you which you can manipulate using DOF. with the extension tube, you can use the the MF ring to focus. but if am...

i am also new to the field of macro photography. here are a few things i learnt through surfing the net... extension tubes: no loss of quality but loss of light. you will lose anywhere between 1-3 stops. this might become critical because at these magnifications you want a high f stop for...

based on your replies till now, my advice is to decide between two options. either you can have one of those group tour type of vacations where you hop between rome,venice,milan,paris etc. etc. with one day at each place OR you could choose to do 2 countries. purists will tell you that even one...

hi all, i have always wondered about these two things and would love to have your feedback. white balance do our eyes always see white as white irrespective of light source? i always thought that things appeared differently under candle light as opposed to fluroscent light. i mean there...

me got mail too :P

compose the shot at arms length (not fully outstretched), leaning slightly backward and with one feet slightly ahead of the other. keeping the camera stationary, move forward till your elbows touch your body and shoot. sounds complicated, but in practice is much simpler and faster.

i recently recycled my silica gel for the first time. i used a microwave on low heat for about 2 minutes. after some trial and errors i observed that- it is best to reheat a single layer of silica gel at a time by spreading it on a plate. it is better to do it in 2 phases because some silica...

all of us are tempted to buy buy buy all the time :) i would advise you to shoot a bit with your kit lens and enjoy it before thinking of buying another lens in the same range. i am not implying that the 18-55 is as good as the 18-70, but dont start of selling and buying before you have used...

Reds tend to blow out easily in the default sRGBIII mode. try using sRGBI or adobeRGB especially if you have large red areas in your image.

i was playing around with metering last weekend. i took a series of shots of a white A4 paper and a jet black bag in natural light using spot metering. i did a series of shots with different exposure compensation from +3 to -3 for both the objects and checked the histogram. i found that spot...

will the new plenoptic camera be able to correct effects of shake through its software?

excuse me for asking, but what does that have to do with being chinese or indian? :dunno:

what is 'snatch' the shutter? in my manual camera i am always clicking in this fashion and i do not get handshake.the same thing applies for manual mode in DSLR's. so even in a,s,p modes i believe the D70/s is shutter priority which means you can shoot even when camera is not in focus. the D50...

at the telephoto end of that lens a f2.8 aperture instead of a f5.6 implies 2 f stops which translates into 4 times the amount of light ~ 4 times the cost ;)
