Cool. I don't know if it's gonna snow again but we still have not the best weather. It's felt like the cold's never gonna end, but the forecast next week is the warmest I've seen. Too bad if it really rains so much though.
I guess it's not the amount of zones but the arrangement that they're talking about. To be fair time zones are really just messy everywhere
I definitely used to underestimated the size.. I really like this site for comparing countries http://thetruesize.com/
Skies can be real awesome.. Maybe I sent this once before, but this is all of my iPhone sky shots (as of October though, still got some sorting of photo lists to do) https://photos.google.com/u/2/share/AF1QipNZMPHSm2cVF6FpipuDDcFxvkgAj5l_15Es0-YEaXmIbNifTnQ3u0mCpqtWqbqW6Q?key=VTlQeE1UUHl1LUx4RkI1bzNRd25lVmFlMnJza2xB
It's crazy, you can really spend arbitrarily high amounts of money on lenses. I believe there are perfectly good cheap ones anyway, but it takes some research to tell what's good.
I want a macro too. The 40mm 2.8G macro seems to be Nikon's cheapest offering, but it's costlier than I'd like and I already have the 35mm 1.8G. The difference is mainly the focusing distance, the 40 can focus as close as 1.3 inches from the front element compared to ~12 inches on the 35. Being only 40mm (not really 'zoomed in') you really do have to get inches from the subject to get those macro shots, which can in turn block out light and scare bugs. Nikon makes 60, 85, 105, & 200mm macros (giving greater working distances), but for $$$. But, technically speaking the 40mm is capable of some great macro if you can work with it. There's certainly third party options too (Sigma, Tamron...), possibly better deals there, not sure. It's a whole world out there..
I saved $ by buying everything second-hand/used so far, with no issues. But I do that with almost everything I buy, anyway.
I want to take the superest tiniest zoomed-in-est macro shots, so, until I find what can do that without emptying my life savings.
