spoon can you quickly recommend me a macro lens for the Nikon D40 that I have, since I like to take pictures of flowers, I would enjoy the best macro I can purchase.

Thanks,

If you're on a budget, Tamron is a good choice. The 90mm gives you more working room.

Super wide

I don't own a wide lens, but I see plenty of good photos taken with them.
Giving me the itch.

You should get one. Get an old lens off of ebay just to play around with.

Tried my hand at taking multiple exposures and merging them:

^^ construction happening by the bell center in montreal

my very first attempt with HDR failed miserably, I was able to make a way better shot with just the single exposure + usual edits, giving me :

the following was my attempt at creating a panorama from a series of HDR images. click the image for the full res.

Here's a shot of a Red Fox we saw yesterday while he was taking a noon-time nap.

A while back I took a shot at the old port of Montreal, and the sky was really not very nice, I just couldn't make the shot work to my satisfaction. Recently updated my phone to vanilla android 4.4.3 and started playing with the upgraded camera, and did a bit of editing playing around. I could have totally done this with the PC, but I never bothered for some reason. Turned out it just needed to be cropped and put in black & white

why remind us of snow?

You... talking, to me?

Today - 6/17, Air Force One came to JFK, RWY 31L:

 

[CuriousMike]

Cool shots of Air Force One.

I'm surprised you could get close enough to photograph it.

Finally got my full motorcycle license so i've been riding all over. Took this shot tonight when I stopped for a break:



took this shot at a historic park here, did it up in HDR, wasn't very happy with the results. It still looked kinda bland. So I was going to just delete it, but decided to edit it excessively (what would sometimes ruin a pic). Maybe I'm just tired, but I thought it turned out alright.



you can tell it has been edited a lot, but IMO it went from "Delete!" to "heh, cool"


decided to go back out for another ride, nowhere in particular. ended up thinking i might get a good view of the Jacques Cartier bridge as I rode down that way.



now i really wish i had a tripod, could have just stepped over to the other side of that thing. but the trusty cement block was where it was!
