can someone help me, like a post on how to do maco photo. or something in that general area. tips, hints, steps on how you take a macro photo, etc.
thanks for the help! |
The kit lens is fine but really bad for true 'macro' work. Neither is that 55-200VR. It's worthless for macro work actually.
I'm assuming that your looking to get results like this?
These were taken with a true 1:1 macro lens, the Sigma 105mm. Which probably won't autofocus with your D40. Sorry.
Bottom line - Get a macro lens or use extension tubes.
You don't really need to know about physics to know that a macro lens will get your closer to your subject.
