In Fairbanks we save our fireworks for New Year's Eve... no darkness to enjoy them this time of the year. Hope you have fun though. :) KopyKat * AKA * Kathy ...
Haven't shot fireworks for years since I used film. The best way was not to wind the film on and shoot several fireworks shots on a single frame. Can this be...
Speaking of winter hours we opened our annual winter festival last week as usual with a fireworks display. We also have a New Year display but at least...
You could try setting the camera to manual operation Al, and leave the shutter open for several seconds or even minutes, as if you were photographing star...
Thank you, Erkki. It's nice and sunny here today so hopefully it will be on the 4th also. The day usually ends up raining - but that's ok too. It cools...
I'm going out east of Denver, CO where if you even think about using Fireworks, you will get arrested! Too dry even for fires not in a BBQ. Save and sane 4th...
Hi folks,  I posted a couple shots in "Swap Shot", in our group album ... that I took at the Brookfield Zoo, on Tuesday (7/1). Just a couple ... I felt...
Very nice, Don. I appreciate the photos - we don't have a zoo in Fairbanks - nearest one is Anchorage and last time I was there it was a pretty poor one.  ...

The TAMRON SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di is a terrific lens for Macro ... plus it makes for a sharp portrait length, also. A two for one, to be sure.  Check it out. ...
I have the Tamron 50mm f2.8 for the A100 and I THINK it will work on the A700 also... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! It takes great macro shots and portraits also. ...
I still use my old Minolta 100/2.8 macro and are still happy with it. Wouldn't mind a 200/4 macro. Guess some of these older lenses that still perform are...

I kind of went off the deep end, with MACRos, when I bought the TAMRON SP AF 180mm f/3.5 Di LD 1:1 MACRO. It is great, though ... allowing you superior range...
Depending on how much you want to spend, at the bottom end of the market, there is the Cosina / Vivitar / Etc f3.5 macro. Although you lose half a stop over...
I have recently bought two macros, Sigma 90mm F2.8 (very much like Tamron 90mm Macro) and Minolta 50mm F2.8. On my limited experience (less than thousand shots...
