[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70458-applaud.gif[/img] Bravo!! Bravo!! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70458-applaud.gif[/img] I am really enjoying this thread. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]
I know my photos below don't really fall into the "macros" column but I wanted to share them anyway.






Bird! a Blurry Bird!





Do you see the ants all over the stem and flowers below?











This is as close as I can get without it being blurry. Can someone tell me the basic settings my camera should be on in order to take photos as lovely as all of yours?

Re: Macros...postem here!

...BB!!! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wavey.gif[/img] I'm not sure what exactly a "macro" is either, but I presume ya don't exactly have to get pollen on yur nose to qualify. So...to answer your question to the best of MY ability: [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img]....on the top of my camera....on the round thing that I twist to turn it on....there is a picture of a tulip. I set it on that,....then the camera supposedly does the rest. All sorts of other stuff pops up on the screen then, at times, while the camera tries to make up it's mind. If I push the shutter button half way down, it stops the noise that the camera makes...then I can do what I want. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]

....here's one for Seveen:



...pssst! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70390-shhh.gif[/img] and cheat if ya want to!, uh,...well...maybe that's a bit presumptious....I wonder what the "professionals" do?

Re: Macros...postem here!

and 'dude TVs were in color in 2001

but i remember black and white

and that rainbow thing every one bought to put over the screen before color [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Radio shack has universal remotes for 6 bucks. I always carry an extra one around in my pocket for emergencies.

Re: Macros...postem here!

BB...thanks for the links...(yikes!!) [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img] ....so I'm now obsessed with trying to figure out how to incorporate all that info with my philosophy of "let's reinvent the wheel" combined with the quagmire of having champaigne taste on a beer budget, thrown in with a perverse desire for perfection.

Re: Macros...postem here!

...one more sidenote before I bug out of here for the day: (it's one of the georgeous blue sky days here,....you know, the kind us folk around here dream about 347 days a year.) [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

(((Seveen))) ...about 6 months back LB and my brother gave me a cell phone to pack around. For some reason they both thought it was VERY important that they be able to contact me at any given moment. I'm guessing it is a basic-type cell phone, cuz my brother smiled when he saw it sitting on the floor of my truck, and quipped "Welcome to the 90's" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
