Sorry no pictures here, i just wanted to let you know LOL.

Ok, so i just bought a new lens.... :barb:ivar:D

Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Nikon AF, i hope i like it!! I was looking and looking for a macro, and this one fits the budget. I hope i wont be disapointed.

My b-day is on Thursday, so i made myself a present, but my BF doesn't know, so i'll be pestering him for a 300mm lens :D

Ok, sorry, i'm too excited!!!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Can't wait to see all the little critters, especially butterflies and dragonflies. Those are consistently my favorite macros.
