Vorticon, your first pic of the bird poop on the rock was stunning- really, I could almost smell it. However, your second pic was less than inspiring...I mean, power lines? I don't get it. Is Mr.Black in that pic???

Rips what do you use for macro shoots? its crappy lens or you did not sharpen them in post process?

It's a crappy lens for macro application...35-70mm f/2.8D AF.  A couple of them I post processed, not all.  It's probably my eyesite too, its not the best. 

I've noticed that good focus falls off severely from the focus point at a low f-stop which I'm not happy about with this lens.  For the waterfall shot, I used a slow shutter speed to blur the water.

Do you have any recommendations for macro lenses?  I use Nikon stuff. I don't want to spend more than $1000 though...

I think the macro shots with a short focal length are kinda cool.

Thanks. I do too, but these really fall off drastically, IMO, or it could be my composition or position when focusing...either way the bokeh is dramatic.

Great pics from the usual suspects, here's last saturday, my kid supervised by my dog.

well thanks

really not a difficult to reproduce shot, assuming you can get 4 feet out from the shore on boulders, and have ice still on the river to set the camera on...
