Went to a photo evening with Casper Tybjerg - a "world renown" danish nature photographer (unfortunately he uses N*****) http://www.ttf.dk/Dansk/Forside.aspx - he had some cracker phots of spiders - just as you Clarky.

It sparkled his career - and he know works as a photographer and "photo journalist".
Anyway - Sigma had a small stand at the show - in the breaks we could see and touch the whole product range - with some very nice prices. So - I ordered the 105mm macro and I'm getting it tomorrow
The prices was very good (for danish prices) and on same level as SRS and others - but without the shipping. So overall a very good offer
Can't wait to go shooting some bugs and flowers......

I am pleased to see you decided to take up macro and looking forward to seeing some of your shots with your new sigma (I am sure there will be plenty)
Some great shots on that site (i like the frog on the leaf )
Here's a shot of a Cicada i snapped Yesterday
Another reason i love macro is for its convenience. I only have to walk out the back door and theres a smorgasbord of subjects
Good luck with your snapping.

I am trying to decide between a 10-20 WA and a Macro, back to macro again - wish I cd have both!
I am hoping to get a 10-20 for X-mas if i can convince Santa (and my wife) i have been a good boy this year First one yes is fabulous, love the subtle green bokeh, suits it well.

I spent some time in the garden and snapped a few pics. What do you think.
All taken with the Tamron 90mm Macro

The modest G
You can't compare George and my stats, He has been a member since Moses was a boy so you would expect his average to be lower photo*ist wrote:
As near as your wife and I can tell, of the top 10 most prolific posters you easily have top prize for that statistic and are actually more than double George's modest amount.
Yeah, pipe down, Clarky, and take some more bug pics.As near as your wife and I can tell, of the top 10 most prolific posters you easily have top prize for that statistic and are actually more than double George's modest amount.
The modest G
But i see what you mean when compared with some of the other members. I would have bet my house that others had a higher post per day than me Stats never lie as they say.
I am trying to defend myself so here goes.
Excuse 1: I spend 12hrs a day or night in front of a computer for work and usually have the site open in the back ground. So ease of accessability is 1 reason.
Excuse 2: I love you guys
I will add further excuses as i think of them

Nothing like that at all Clarky. It's just Nature's way of telling you to do something else with your life. This little known feature usually kicks in when a user surpasses the 4 posts per day average and you are waaaay overdue. Or have i been blackballed
Get outside and take some pictures!
Everything seems to be back in order now

It only occurs when i click on the Pentaxuser shortcut on my desktop. The page can't be found and it expires and when i do get it too work logging in is ok. Its the only shortcut i am having problems with so i thought it might be server issues at your end :

Has the forum been experiencing difficulties with its server : The past couple of days i have been having trouble opening the link. It takes a few attempts (and sometimes a couple of hours) before it opens and i can log in : . Or have i been blackballed

(Unless of course it was for Pentax versions of the Sigma, Tamron etc.)
