Just as the title suggests, I’ve recently purchased a Nikon D40x camera kit. I haven’t had much time to play around with it yet, but managed to take a few nice macro shots, while taking a stroll in the garden. Here are a couple of samples:
A massive honey bee, harvesting a blooming green onion
See the original (~3.5Mb).
Neat tiny flowers, which I suspect may be giving me allergies :)
See the original (~3.7Mb).
Thus far I’m very impressed with the controls, as well as camera’s excellent performance. The autofocus, however, is a bit disappointing – it seems incapable of focusing on some things that my old camera had absolutely no problems with. I suspect it has something to do with the particular lens that is being used at the moment. To make any conclusions about it, I’d have to play around with the camera a bit more, see how it behaves with other lenses.
There are some more macro shots from this set, available at Kartinka.
