I was looking round for one and most people had no stock and told me that they would be comming back in at £1000 plus, I was lucky enough to find one in stock and still at the £700 it was just after Christmas.

Am still trying to come to terms with it but I am getting there.

I was surprised to see the butterfly in the shot so I just cropped it to bring the insect into the shot so to speak. The blue is sky through the tree, what I was actually doing was trying to take a macro shot of a white flower without blowing the white, I did get some reasonable white flowers but apart from that and this one with the butterfly I managed a butterfly of the same type feeding on a flower that I am really pleased with.

Do understand what you mean but I can't claim that was what I was aiming for I did not even see the beastie.

I read the book but only understood when I read the forum

That is very nice never thought of using my 50mm f1.4 on building but looking at your results I reckon I should start. I too love my little 50.

Yes Shim, it was the Sigma 105mm macro on my K20D a newish lens to me but I am getting to grips with it, the flying thingy was a small tortoiseshell

Well this one is flavour of the moment, only took it yesterday

I think photographers take and edit shots to please themselves and as long as it does that then it's a good shot in the artist’s eyes even if it breaks all the rules.

One pleasure in not taking shots for a living is you can do whatever you like, go for it you rule breakers

I have an EL2000 that could not be discribed as elegant.

That is the default but you can change it so you can focus with the remote.

In the C menu set AF in remote control to on.

Only kow 'cause I looked it up myself last night.


SNAP you type quicker than I

I may have cropped it Tel, it was left bottom corner, I was taking the blossom and did not see I was on a flight path till I was sorting through the shots.

Think I will have to learn to look at the whole shot and not just he point of focus.
