Basic Camera Class folks that were out there today, feel free to add your photos here... I have more to post myself, but these are the ones I played with right away

A few bugs with the 70-200 2.8L and macro tubes...

Nice shots! I really like #1. What type of macro tube did you use?

They are just cheapo things I picked up on eBay several years ago.. if you look at the EXIF information, you'll see that the camera had no idea about the lens.. not focal length, not aperture setting.. nothing.. I had to manually focus each of these.

Nice...sounds like the good old bellows days.

Back to the subject at hand...can't wait to see pics from your students.

Thanks! I just can't believe I went to the gardens and did not come home with tons of flower shots! It must have been my mood, got a upsetting call along with to many business calls! Lesson of the day? Shut phone off! Thanks again!

Chris love #5
I just love the colors you can get out of the D80

guitarbug · 04-02-2007, 09:11 PM

Thanks Mike! Ive been real happy with the D80 (EXCEPT) for high speed low light situations! I would like two know how the D200 handles that, before I ever think about switching to Cannon,lol!

kachina · 04-02-2007, 09:13 PM

Nice photos! I really like the discs.

Brad's taking us to Pappasito's? Dang, I knew I was sick on the wrong day!! lol just kidding, sorry I missed the trip.... looks like you guys had fun and I have hated it every since!!

guitarbug · 04-02-2007, 11:13 PM

Thanks Rusty! Roxanne, It was very crowded and a little hot. I don't think I would loose any sleep over it! But we did miss you there! I think Brad missed you, because your the only other Cannon shooter I believe! LOL!

brad · 04-03-2007, 12:21 AM

Ya did good! I have a few more, but I gotta make the time to do the post processing on them.

guitarbug · 04-03-2007, 01:22 AM

Thanks Brad! That bee photo blows my mind! Its so beautiful, and how did you get that Ladybug to pose like that? Lol!

Rox74 · 04-03-2007, 06:15 AM

Actually I shoot Nikon.... Lee is the only other Cannon shooter in the class. Nice to know I was missed anyway.
