Hi there,

I have just bought the Canon EOS 350D and have a 28-105mm lens for

it..

Because I have just done a load of money on it I really don�t want

to be buying a 300mm or a macro lens just yet..

I have seen a Macro +10 filter on ebay. does that do the job for

macro shots?

also, is there something i can buy that will turn my 28-105mm lens

into something more like a 300mm lens?

I don�t really understand how all this works! Basically, I am trying

to get the most out of my current lens for as little money as

possible until I can afford to go out and buy the dedicated lenses

for it..

any suggestions would be great...

Thanks

Adam

Hello all...

Interesting stuff. I would just like to respond to a few comments made...

Art says "why donﾒt I start my own forum and stop telling people what is and isn't rightﾔ. Itﾒs a forum, a place to discuss opinions! I am not telling people anything, I am asking questions and giving opinions..

I think other peoples views that its easy to avoid is probably right, its just that I was having a good look round because I have only just registered and it was very noticeable that the most interesting people listed here all do nudes...I am sure there are people who are just as talented or even better photographers that donﾒt take pictures of naked ladies who are probably not getting the accolade they deserve because the nude shots are dominating...

People who have mentioned all the classic paintings and sculptures of nudes...can't argue, but some of the stuff on this site cannot be compared...close ups of woman with their legs spread, masturbation, bondage etc...itﾒs a totally different subject..and thatﾒs the sort of stuff that I am objecting too..a point that I didn't really make clear in my original post...

I think Jayme Hall and Will King probably sum up what I am trying to say perfectly...

having said all this, I got my Canon EOS 350d delivered the other day and went out today for the first time with it to my local park and came back with a set of SHOCKING photos! So who am I to comment!

Thanks for everyone who took the time to respond..its interesting to read what other people feel about this...

I do think this is a great site and its sure going to help me improve as a photographer!

Ok, so I am very new to all this, and very new to this site, but the

more I look the more I am not buying this nude photography as art

business.

If you look at the most interesting people list, the top 5 are all

mainly doing nude shots, and every single woman in there is slim and

attractive..so my questions are.

Is this site just full of men who like to check out naked fit woman?

Why are there no "ordinary" every day girls in these shots? why are

they all toned, lovely looking models?

don't get the wrong idea! I love a good looking woman as much as the

next guy, but there are other places on the net for this are there

not!

I think there is a lot to be said for leaving these things up to the

imagination and not shoving girly bits in peoples faces and calling

it "art"!

I am sure if people read this it will cause many different view, its

probably been discussed thousands of times before already, but I find

its taking the shine of what is otherwise an amazing way of sharing

photos and learning from other people..
