Hi everyone! Finder: pic taken with a simple Agfa CL34 1.3 megapix camera, which just goes to show you what you can do with a low-res digital (just don't blow up you're images too much!). This camera does have a basic macro setting, and for once, focusing with the LCD gave me a sharp final image. Initially a 1024 by 768, 187.5 kb file, I crunched & shrunk it a bit so it didn't take to long to load. Thanks for your interest (and for taking the time to separate & squash my pumpkin!!). Some of the photos I take are with a Ricoh SLR (usually with 50mm lens), some with the digital. Film and processing can be quite expensive, but taking shots with the digital costs me nothing, unless I decide to print. Since participating in the forum, I have been inspired to take up my SLR more often, but eventually I want to get a bigger & better digital to explore the boundaries of this new and interesting development photography has taken. Given that I love macro, does anyone have any suggestions.... :-)>
