Just a couple of shots whilst playing with the Nikon 6T close-up lens.... will try a little harder over the weekend...

Engagement ring my sister-in-law was given.

A skink which just had a bath while I watered the garden.

Great shots!

I bet you are happy with that lens!!!!

Also, have you noticed that since those Southerners started daylight saving hours, how the seem to vacate the D70 forum an hour earlier now than they did lasy week?

They get an extra hour of day time and lose an hour of night time, but for most people night time is for relaxing, and we Queenslanders have figured that out, long ago.

Great lens and looking forward to seeing more close up shots

Cheers

Now now, let's not start any state wars.
Anyway, my brother in law lives in Qld and he tells me that they need the extra hour at night so that they can catch up with the rest of Australia. :lol:

Ha... we're still here... just have an extra hour to be out and about taking photos is all... :lol:

Out of interest xerubus which lens are you attaching the 6T to ???

I attach mine to a 70-300ED but find light and stability major issues... handholding is really just not on it seems.

Just being cheeky and interactive!:D

We wouldn't want a boring board and the banter is part of the fun
Go Collingwood and Go Southerners!
There, I've said it; now I'm going to hide!

Graham PS. Can't believe I said that. The D70 manual is getting to me.

No worries Graham, it's all in good fun.

mj ... that's attached to a sigma 28-300 3.5-5.6 Macro

Posted: **Fri Nov 05, 2004 10:00 am**

ok... and the shots were taken in macro mode?

Posted: **Fri Nov 05, 2004 10:05 am**

yes...

macro mode...
manual focus...
300mm

i like to do most of my photos without AF.... if i'm not shooting macro, I always shoot in M mode and work out the ap and shutter speed myself...

They are great xerebus, and that answers a question I had - does macro + close-up lens = happiness? Answer, quite clearly, is yes.

Thanks Greg..

I've been happy with most results i have got from the close-up lens...
