I have been contemplating starting a thread for Macro photography.

There are a few posters who I am aware of who would participate. if there are enough takers I'll give it a go

It wont be like pimpies thread, no challange, just a place to show off your achievements and an exchange of tips and ideas.

Here is one as a starter

What appature setting was the last of those 2?

The smaller the appature the better the depth of field but you have to have lots of light

This is the camera:

it is supposed to be ideal for entry level, geez, what are the more complex like???

They are bigger, heavier,way more expensive and don't do a great deal more.

it is like carsa good car gets you where you want to go in relative comfort and speed. a Porche does the same with the added advantage of brag value and increased "size" value at a much higher cost 🙂

Not sure, Poddy.  I have some dried flowers, took those pics just a little while ago.  Most of them turned out too dark.

Yes, lots more flowers and pretty things. 

Poddy, what would you consider an expensive camera?

[poddster]

Anything over $750
