might be my screen but that really could use a little bit more light in the front.

I think I'm about to get a T3i body. I've been thinking of starting with a macro this time since I take a lot of nature shots. Anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably priced option?

I suggest buying a set of extension tubes if you want to experiment before going big with pricey macro lens. A set usually run about $100 and let's you focus up close with the lenses you have. You'll need a sturdy tripod, good light source and a remote trigger.

Anything with a "macro" label ends up being pretty pricey from what I've seen. I don't know much about them tho so it'd be hard for me to give advice on them. I know a lot of people like the 180mm macro lens.

Rig shot of my Eclipse I did yesterday.

whenever I see a rig shot of a car with wheels like that, I wish there was an outtake like this:

Impromptu pictures of bubbles are hard to accomplish when you have to do it on your own.

You did a great job on this. It is a difficult subject.

Further justification for a macro lens.

Trying to get the car ready for Zdayz... Not sure if I'll have everything done in time. My biggest hurdle is modding my headlights. I have a feeling its gonna take me more than a day to do them, a d I only have one day available a week and I don't want to rush it...

Zdayz 2014!!

Anybody have experience doing event photography, like in a club setting? I'm going in for a party and looking for any last minute advice. I've got my D7000, an SB-800 with a diffuser (not sure if this is really necessary), and I rented 17-55 f/2.8 and a 10.5 f/2.8 fisheye just to play around with. I didn't think my 18-200 was suitable for lower light environments.
