Got a DSLR after nearly more than 10 years of not having a decent camera . My last camera was a Nikon 35mm film SLR with a 200mm Tamron lens which got nicked - the thief very kindly left behind the tripod!
I was watching digital photography grow - but remained unconvinced about its low light capabilities until now...
The main advantage I see in Digital is that you could afford to be careless - there is no other cost other than having missed the shot. Add to the fact there are very few labs these days who can develop film properly..
Oh thanks to my brother I d also resurrected a Nikon F70 35mm film camera which had an amazing full frame 28mm-85mm lens.. this has a macro mode that I ve just discovered and have fitted to my DSLR.
For the curious kind, said DSLR is a Nikon 5100.
Here are a few shots that I ve been playing around with - untouched by photo correction software!Mind you this lens doesnt have a motor nor does the D5100, so focusing is completely manual.
Now thanks to a neat tip by my friend Yuri Sysoev - I can get near perfect focus ( seen in the first pic of the watch)..
Now to find a way to automagically link and enlarge each pic on click..
