update

Hey everyone... Just finishing making a huge photo equipment purchase.. and will start with blogs as soon as it all arrives.. Im hoping to do some reviews like one a week of the items purchased ..these are not going to be top of the line products so be forewarned..i am like most and cant afford super top-line gear but still hope to make the fun and informative for those of you that are like me and have to suffer with cheaper gear just so we at least have something...so hopefully thing will arrive around the 1st of February..good luck and have fun shooting......HOBO

Macro or Close up..... Understanding the term Macro.

Firstly lets define macro....it comes from a Greek word MAKROS which means large or long. therefore the subject in the photo appears large and takes a long time to shoot (long exposures) ...make some sense huh...but wait theres more. actualy most images we See are not true macro shots....what you say ...well let me explain myself here before you start thinking what a idiot. Technically macro is by photography definition is actually  1X magnification (life size)or larger. So size of the subject is actually life size or larger on the film .. so  your out shooting and you come across a  flower you quick draw the camera and shoot a wonderful picture take it home and check it out So lets say the center of the flower is 1.5  inches across..so it the photo the actual size of the center should be 1.5 inches  wow..that would be HALF THE PHOTO on a 3x5 picture....so yours is actual not that big ..say 1.1 inches...is your photo A MACRO SHOT??....NOPE....its a close up..so next time your out trying to get that macro shot...think to yourself....macro or close up...shoot away and have some fun...if you use a service like flikr please feel free link to your macro shots in the comments section so we can check them out.......HOBO

Welcome

Hello everyone thanx for stopping by. I am new to this blogging thing so hold on it may be a bumpy ride..  I wanna tow ya all along on my journey it to the world of photography. Mainly macro and landscapes. Just got a small point and shoot right now. But like the saying goes the best camera is the one you have..but i hope to have anew DSLR  in the next couple months. So for now tag along never know it could be fun and educational too...if you are a nooby like me don't feel bad if ya ask questions ill help if i can if not ill look for an answer for you...  if your a pro help out and answer if ya can...so here we go ..The big question one always ask themselves when buying there first DSLR .... Canon VS Nikon.. well I'm still in the air on this one what do you think? I'm leaning towards Nikon but Canon is a awesome camera a bit more Mega pixels. BUT Nikon i like the feel a bit better i think. I'm looking at the Nikon d5000 and the Canon T1i...any suggestions and reasons why would be appreciated....Thanks.....HOBO
