Feb 10, 2011 at 3:54 am #58411 allyn fincherMember Neal, Thanks for sharing the links. Feb 10, 2011 at 11:44 am #58412 Maarten BruinenbergMember Hi Allyn, If you want to make close-up foto’s you’ll need a macro lens. They aren’t cheap but they can double as a great portret lens! Nikon has a 60mm 2.8 and a 105mm 2.8. I have added some pics taken with the 105. If you have any questions just let me know! best regards Feb 10, 2011 at 1:45 pm #58413 Zach MatthewsThe Itinerant Angler That Olympus Stylus most likely has a macro mode (it will be a flower petal).

Those articles are great… Rather than hijack Allyn’s thread I created one with my first ever attempts at the same thing… Maarten – those are some awesome pics and ties!

I’m there pretty much every day and shoot a ton of fly photography here. I’ll show you the ropes in person.
