Years ago I bought an extension tube/ x2 converter. When used with a 28/35/50/70mm lense it's great for doing macro photography. I also have a 70-210 zoom with a macro facility on it but it's not as good as the extension tube.

I have one for my SLR, I took the macro shots of my laptop using it soemwhere at the beginning of this thread. I think they work great, especially for the price.Quote:

the macro on your zoom lens isn't a 'real macro, you really can't beat the quality of a real macro lens. Good ones are several hundred bucks though so be happy with the tubes, I am :D
Half-way through the march organisers got word that police estimated there were just over 200.000 attending. We were right at the front so we were going to arrive at Washington sq first and then we heard that there were still people joining at Times Sq.

For me, this was an amazing experience and a rather catharctic one. I'm very glad I was there and took part - this was the most beautiful stroll in Manhattan.
keep the pics coming :)

Fantastic pics Aria.
I like the one with the three helicopters in the sky and the very last picture of the 'hippie' protesting. What great shots. This entire war thing is starting to convince me to study photojournalism when I get to college. That must have been so exciting.
Thanks - we took about 200 stills and shot some video. I 'll try and post some more later. I am working on a short film for Indymedia -Quote:

i took photojournalism during my 2nd year at college where I did my BA in Photography - it's very exciting. If you are into it, check the work of Don McCullin who is a highly respected, independent photojournalist.

Don McCullin, words really cannot describe how powerful his photographs are.
Thanks Aria.

What camera are you using??
:) I am using the Olympus C-3040 Zoom 3.3 Megapixel
3x optical zoom and 2.5x digitalzoom...
Sometimes when I use it it goes to the highest setting 2048x1536
and I haven't mastered the camera yet...still have to rely on the book..LOL
But I do love taking pictures...

This pier, which I had a sunset shot of a few pages ago, has been battered by storms and now half of it has been burnt to a skeleton. It's due for complete renovation though :)

Eyeflash
that is a nice pic, av -- what time did you take this picture?
eyeflash -- your pic is cool. :) What camera did you use? welcome to D&G
That is really beautiful!!! Where is that???? Didn't you show this pier [different shots] a few pages ago???? ( I should go back and look..)
Eyeflash... VERY nice.... and where is that taken also???? Your doing great.
Thank you :)
Brillant colors Aversion and Eyeflash.
thanks, I took it at sunset with a canon D1 that I borrowed from a generous friend, it's a great camera, so nice to use something that has a decent lens again!
I had a bunch of filters I wanted to play with, this one has a gradient ochre filter with a vignette, I really like that.
The other one of the same pier is of the other section, further out, I'll repost it here.

this one has been thru photoshop, if you compare the pics you'll see I got rid of a piece of broken platform on the right to make the structure look like it's more isolated, almost like a ship wreck.
here's a snapshot I took the other day, the structure in the above pic was on fire and is now nothing more than a metal skeleton. When the day is right I'm going to down there and try to reproduce the sunset pic above to show before the fire and after.
