I dug up the ole macro bass thread in the basses sub forum, and thought I'd check to see if there was one in the FX forum. Also inspired by these.

I like the last one burgermeister. Did you set up a tripod?

I'm just using a point & shoot on my shots (Nikon Coolpix S210) set to macro (the little flower setting) on a cheap tripod. The camera has exposure compensation settings that I noodled with. A bunch turned out of focus nut no complaints. As for lighting it is just incandescent lightbulbs from a small overhead "chandelier".

I know some of the guys in the basses subforum have macro lens on digital SLR's. I was hoping some of them would come along.

I'm pretty sure on the ones I took that are pretty close and in focus; I had the camera set far away and the zoom; including digital, maxed. At such settings a tripod is pretty necessary or else you wind up with blurry pics due to slow shutter speeds. Natural lighting can help. If weather permits you may have better luck outside.

I worked at a camera shop for a while when digital was first coming out, so I have a basic knowledge of 35mm P&S and SLR. Digital is not that different when it comes to camera functions. The limitations of P&S are lifting a bit with digital, but there is definitely more you can do with an SLR and a decent collection of lenses.

Looking forward to the new shots. :D

Edit: Just saw you are from LA....I'm pretty sure weather permits....:D
