Hi all,

I have been playing with the SB800, Sigma 70-300 taking
manual, handheld macros and I am impressed about the possibilities.
This combination rocks. I took the shots at 1/500 and f10 handheld.

Are you making any sense of the SB800 manual?
It's all Persian to me.

Nice work. As a new SB800 owner, I am very encouraged. I was chancing my arm with my Tamron 70-300 on macro today with the SB800, but I think I was a bit adventurous trying to get a shot of a bird inside a large camelia tree. Will try some inanimate objects tomorrow.

We have exactly the same "door furniture" as shown in shot #2!

Very nice shots Christiand - just goes to prove that Sigma lens are very good - I use a Sigma macro and could not be more pleased with its performance.

Cheers

Matt,

I have a lot of trouble understanding the SB800 manual.
I pick up hints and tricks from the forums.
It is quite interesting to see the SB800 related questions that are being posted. Clear indication that the manual is one of many building blocks.
I am trying to find a book that covers the how do I do this and how do I do that and I would like to do this, how do I do it. BTW these macro shots were taken with spot metering. (matrix blows the images)

Cheers

I'm sure you mean "stumbling blocks".
