Hey, what do you suggest for a decent/inexpensive flash? Everyone says the SB600, but I don't have the money I can spend on that at the moment. Suggestions are more than appreciated. I'll be running my 55-200mm Nikkor lens until I can get a better wide angle one (again .. more money!).

Better lens ... AKA the one you recommended that you have pictured as your main display pic

yep, very sharp when stopped down a tad, but very acceptable wide open. I do NOT recommend the use of a uv filter with one tho

Are you still in NJ? For some reason I remember you saying something about West Virginia..or somewhere around there. I haven't seen you since like, Mr.Paterson's class [which, for the record, was the most amusing class]. I still have the book sock you wrote "chode" on. I'm using it for my history book hahah.

One thing about your work that I feel I should let you know is that it gets better over time. Each image gets better. For instance, I can fall in love with it one day, sleep, and wakeup, and it's even more beautiful the next. Like nicely aged wine.

yeah haha, i occasionally look at my old work, and am like ew, that photo is terrible compared to my current work. Hopefully, unlike wine, I don't taste bad after a while...

Bugs live in a very different world from us. They can do fun things like walk on water. I study physics in real life -- surface tension is highly interesting. [link] and [link] were the best I could do without my 2x tele (left it in the car) or any other way to get a real macro shot.

surface tension is very interesting . i'm assuming a 180 2.8 AIS? might wanna look into some extension tubes . What other lenses do you have?

acronymsical In reply to dye1337 [2006-09-18 04:08:06 +0000 UTC]
It is indeed a 180/2.8. I've got a 2x teleconverter, but I left it in the car. (WHY?!?) I also regularly carry a 24mm/2.8 prime, my sharpest lens. I shoot both digital and b/w film, so those two and the obligatory normal lens (used occasionally) can go on either camera. I've also got 18-55 (used occasionally) and 70-300 zooms. As long as I'm working off a tripod, there's nothing quite like the image quality of a prime lens though.

not always true . The 18-135 nikkor has a comparable sharpness of a 180 2.8 believe it or not.... the real difference is speed and distortion, the 18-135 loses in both aspects.

acronymsical In reply to dye1337 [2006-09-18 04:34:22 +0000 UTC]
one other difference. i inherited the 180/2.8 from my father's junk drawer. i would have to buy an 18-135.

good point haha. What do you use to meter the shots with?

acronymsical In reply to dye1337 [2006-09-18 04:50:40 +0000 UTC]
Histogram. Best I can do without clipping. Adjust later with curves.
