[QUOTE="Digger, post: 236327, member: 6853"] Albert - you misunderstood my last post. I was referring to the kit lens which came with your camera (NOT the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro). The macro lens will provide you with exquisite extreme close-ups. Re-read Tammy's note above, and my original note. Macro requires a rock solid steadiness (because when you get in that close, a lot of light is blocked by you, the lens and the camera being right on top of the subject --- so you generally need a slow shutter speed and larger f stop (smaller number on the f stop ring). Remember Albert -- you are starting your DSLR career with a rather difficult and demanding type of photography (macro). If you want to use a faster shutter speed - get more LIGHT onto your subject. And, as Tammy mentions - use manual mode. This is a steep learning curve. You're gonna have to be patient. Take the camera **outside** and get used to the controls -- get used to shooting (take the users booklet with you). [/QUOTE]
