Canada post will often allow for pick the next day after 1pm. Sometimes if you're lucky and call the office they will have it later the same day but not very often. Couriers will attempt a redelivery...

Maybe they knocked and you didn't here them? When it comes to livestock I think it's better not to get a required signature. I would much rather have them leave the package at the door so I can find...

Maybe but I find it strange that you used that particular example for a comparison, especially since you admit to having very little knowledge about the subject. I think I know what you were going...

Well that's fine, I'm not saying anyone's opinion isn't perfectly valid but validating your own by obscurely trying to cut someone else down with a completely irrelevant comparison isn't really...

Still don't see the comparison, it's not the same. If one gas station sells premium fuel for a standard price and another sells the same fuel for double because it's traveled further to get there,...

That's fine if you can do that but not all of us have the ability to run a new water line outside and some of us have 8 months of below freezing winter. For indoor use you would have to setup a large...

That's kind of a weird comparison wouldn't you say? A sports car may need premium fuel to work properly and maintain it's warranty. Fuel is consistent through out the country, tap water is not. And...

Focus stacking is different from HDR. You take multiple pictures at different focus points not exposures. You can then combine the pictures using a program like Helicon Focus to produce an unlimited...

Using a tripod loose is still considered hand held because your hand movements are transferred through the tripod to the camera. When you use a tripod in the stationary way you turn your VR off, but...

Yeah they aren't bad for starting with that lens, but you'll want to use a tripod for these kind of intense macros. You'll want to decrease your aperture to at least 5.6 or until your DOF covers the...

Yeah but it's got the VR, well worth the extra $$. Plus I think the canon is a little more than $500 :wink:

Very nice pictures and lens. I have the same one for my Nikon but I got it new for just over $800 from Dons Photo, must have been on sale I guess.

It's a pretty strong macro and you need a tripod...

It's not a rhizo, I've seen them before I'm not sure exactly what they are but they look like a type of plate coral.

You should go something else instead of the 18-70 if you get the D700 like the 24-85, the 18-70 is a DX lens. Don't spend that kind of money on n dslr if youre worried about carrying lenses around ;)

The 18-70mm will do f3.5 at 18mm and f4.5 at 70mm.

I don't agree with what was said about the 105mm and the requirement for a full frame camera. The D300 has a 1.5x CROP FACTOR not magnification....

I went with Nikon over Canon because the body just felt better, I think this is probably most important, the feel. Canon's are supposed to have a little faster focusing ability while Nikon is better...

You can get a Nikon D60 with 18-55mm lens for $550. For that price it really doesn't make much sense to buy a compact unless you're looking for something that will fit in your pocket. If you do buy a...

This is true but often very difficult and impractical to implement. Measuring your tap water TDS is as simple as measuring your tank salinity. All you need is a very inexpensive TDS meter. Better...

Your needs will depend on the quality of your tap water. Here in Stoon I get a TDS of about 180ppm from the tap so I use a full 6 stage RO/DI to bring this down to the range of 0-4ppm. I've talked a...
