Cool stuff Sprayandpray!

What's a phd camera?

Is it very well educated?

Hey thanks NSX, I'll tell her - she'll be pumped.

A PHD is a 'Push Here Dummy' AKA 'zombie cam' or point'n'shoot!

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

@sprayandpray - I thought you were going to say 'it's a camera with a graduated filter'.

I should have shot this one lower and closer to the ice, but I was still caught up in my last shot and didn't think it through =/

Hopefully the last dancing photo for a while... took me three days to process everything from Saturday around whatever else was happening.

Ok... a bit of my work... Last weekend, we hit -31.5 C, a nearby fall caused these crystals.

Thanks adamz. This bumblebee wasn't a happy camper. It was acutally still raining a bit when I shot this. Not happy with the light though.

Your insects are consistently good Rifqi. What lens etc are you using? I am always interested in other peoples 'walk around' macro stuff - I assume they are hand held?

Thanks. All the shots are with a D3000 and Nikon 85mm f3.5 macro lens. In 99% of my shots (all the ones I've posted here) I also use a SB-400 off camera via a SC-28 TTL cable. All the shots are at 1:1, hand held and uncropped. I'm using a diffuser on the SB-400 but next season I think I'll experiment with a small softbox, I'm just a bit worried about how the critters will react to that.

Yeah Rifqi, your close-up insects are always top-notch!

OK, this is one you can criticize if you like,but it is recovered from an old faded Ektachrome shot in 1963 on a Nikon F, 35mm f/2.0 Nikkor... Oh, the third from the right is my 356A Coupe

@Rifqi: So that's flash in one hand, camera in the other? I expect manual focus and 'swaying' into focus? I suppose the 85mm on a DX gives a usefully large working distance even at 1:1. Nice set-up.

That looks like HDR. Did you edit it after scanning?

I don't think working distance changes from FX to DX- the design of the lens is fixed, but the field of view has decreased.

I agree though, your macro shots are awesome. How do you link the flash from the D3000 to the SB400 though? I don't think there's a sync cable socket on that camera. Is it connected to the flash shoe? I need to experiment more with macro.

The working distance works out to be the same as it would on an FX body, it just 'feels' larger due to the smaller photosites.
