Oh! I love swans, great shot RayK1. Did he do any damage to the lens? Here is a really really close shot, with both parents very unhappy with me. :shock:
Well what ever it is it’s amazing, I enjoyed observing it for a while anyhow.
Yeah, she got her camera, she got a cannon 100 mm macro with it also and really likes it. She has not joined up here yet as she currently has no internet. She is due to get broadband in a few weeks so I will get her to join then. I like the camera that guthrij has for sale, sent a pm but have heard nothing yet.
lol…I didn’t feel like putting my hand in with s/he, it would surely want a bite as it was a bit peed off with me. They are very gentle compared to the smaller wasps though, if that is any more reassuring.
They are really attracted to light, s/he was hitting of the bedroom light for ages until I trapped it, thought it was a moth at first while flying but knew it wasn’t as it’s buzzing was so loud. I set it free the next day.
Sorry to drop in on your topic, but i am also looking for a macro. The one I was looking at earlier was the Canon EF100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens. Is this the exact one you are referring too?
s5500….an OK camera!……now I’m crying :cry: Mine died last month :x Thats the camera that got me addicted :D
Yeah it is an ok camera, just not up there with all your SLR’s, I like it though. I also have sony t30 which takes nice macro shots. Sorry to hear your camera died, I will keep you in mind if I am every selling :wink:
Well it’s an ok camera, it’s an fujifilm S5500. I had it on manual, I am not great a photography yet. I am looking at getting a 30d or 5d, just cant decide yet, I think I need to do a course first. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated!! :wink:
Ok thanks again stcstc, sorry I did not understand where you were getting the prices from and apologise if I sounded a bit sharp. I was looking at the buy and sell on the net, I saw one for 700 but it must be a scam, as I have not got an email back. I need a camera ASAP as I have a local community project, that will require a good camera.
Thanks stcstc, but your price sounds like what you might spend on a brand new one. I am not sure a second hand camera body would cost the best part of 1000?. On pixmania I can get a camera body for ? 1 041,50, why would a second hand one cost around the same price?
