QUOTE(copperwire93 @ Nov 28 2013, 06:46 PM) F16 and low ISO, no wonder your shots are all great. Wah, why drag me into water? haha I always stick to f/7.1 for 'acceptable' DOF and change ISO to get more exposure, or sometimes just to speed up the shutter. Sometimes need to get to 1250 ISO, hence more prominent grains when cropping. Haiz... really need a flash gun lah. haha. Some more macro spams. PF T.J influenced me, blame him. Hahaha! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I find shooting wasps/hornets are really easy for macro newcomer like me. They're big enough to get the focus. And although, they're venomous, they're also easy going (most of the time) you can get closer and they won't sting you right on sight. Except if continuously provoked by flash like the last picture, the yellowjacket preparing its venom for me. She gave the warning by lifting its abdomen part. I understood and walk away.  Your photos are really good. I think many macro photographers are a bit too obsessed with getting higher magnification that at the end they only show the subject, and not what the subject is doing (which can sometimes be very interesting), keep it up! Love shots #2-4!  #1 is a female Oxyopes birmanicus, whereas #2 is a Tetragnatha sp. (have to be able to see its big jaws to be able to ID) I've never got any proper flying shots of hornets or wasps T____T you are damn pro already haha~ And yeah, one good thing is that you will learn more about your subjects' behaviour other than just their diversity  |

btw though nikon 1 systems are like boring to us, i still see some of my frens using it.. maybe they like it cz it's cute, more portable. if canon 6d had more than 1 cross AF point, d600 is well threatened.

Hope you guys can give me some suggestion II) get 2.8 for extra bokeh provided u gt a big budget~ well, seems meaningless la my suggestion. according to dxomark, if u want sharpest, is 70200 2.8, then 70200 4, then Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di LD [IF] macro. n the tammy 70200 macro is so darn cheap n considerably good if compared to them..i believe i must have left out something.bt still u need to ask opinion from others that had hands on before.. |

thanks for the info f5calvin.
I was worry because my uncle is photography fans also...but he bought tamron 18-200 instead of nikon kit lens 18-105... when i bought my dslr..he was like regreting lo...even my kit lens is 18-105..but image is much sharper compare to his... Therefore i want to think first..btw i am planning to go for instalment XD...i think this way will be better |
