Fantastic macro shots with high detail of iridescence, indeed good job!

The opera house it is. First time using a SLR and my attempt of take photos of the famous building with a touch of personality and less "seen that" feeling

[Maximus3D]

Minolta Dynax 5D, I'm glad you'd liked ém.

Oh damn that's a fine piece of equipment to photograph with you can clearly see the difference in quality between my crappy pocketcamera and your fine SLR, holy cow i had no idea the differences were that big. Your SLR seems to capture both details and colors much much better wow. This is close to depressing.. :/ sigh, now i also want a SLR.

What kinda lenses have you got to that camera ?!

How much did it set you back Lud ? if you don't mind me asking..

Sorry for being so unspecific, I lent the camera from a friend just over the day and went down to the city to take some photos. I'm now determent to get a SLR myself after experience this amazing piece of equipment. No color correction needed, I only changed size and some brightness for some of them. I might do some correction of the blurred birds for photo print later.

It’s a whole different story going from a pocket cam to this actual baby.
Not only is the camera good for it’s purpose of taking photos, I was even asked several times to take photos of couples just because of what was around my neck by the time

I got compliments for the camera and a old lady asked to see the outcome of the photos I just took and told me I was a good photographer which I just laughed and thanked for


Lense used, the original 18-70mm
