+mcallahan Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 dapettit left me his camera for a couple of days and I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. Getting everything in focus is hard as the depth of field can be so narrow. Here are some shots from my efforts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Andrew....that anemone shots sure looks gorgeous. -Cindy- For sure. Especially with the baby on the way. Thanks for the kudos on the nem shot...its my favorite. Alex...I have no idea...the longer one that was in Dave's case. I know it wasn't the macro lens as I can't figure out how to open the lens up enough to see something more than all black.

+dapettit Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I need to teach how to shoot in Manual mode. Alex - can't remember which lense it is. It' might be my 35-200 zoom. Cheap lense that came with the camera. Dave- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
