"Once you can have people more frightened of disorder than tyranny, it enables you to do almost anything you like so far as legislation is concerned." Chief Judge Antoinette Kennedy, 26/3/2010.
"The State must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation." Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf

Something more serious - from djnitrous' first course I attended.

Just trying my hand at Lunar photography its not as focussed as i would like but its the best i could do at the moment.
Taken at 300mm on a D80 (its the DX sensor so its a 1.5x crop factor)
I've run a high pass filter over it to sharpen it a bit and overall i'm pretty happy with it

Sunrise last month. Not sharp, although I used a small tripod

The sunrises and sunsets over here are spectacular. Still blows my mind when I see shots like that.
Ok, then another sunset, no bright colours, but love the clouds

This is not one of mine, but I reckon it is spectacular. Coal seam fire, Morwell, sept 08![]()

That sunrise is spectacular Ranmar, it must make getting up that earlier I little easier.
Does anyone have an opinion on these cheap arse macro rings? For this price I reckon its worth trying unless someone can tell me without a doubt that they are the shitest things ever and dont even work.

What about these Timers?

for the price they're definitely worth a play. You're not introducing any crappy cheap optics into the mix, just changing the distances between your existing optics and the sensor. I've seen some good results using extension tubes
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.
Finally a lens that will allow me to capture a picture of my elusive wang

Extension tubes may or may not carry the autofocus signals and the aperture control signals for the lens.
Chucking your full auto lens on a tube which doesn't means you're stuck at widest aperture and manual focus with a massively reduced depth of field (measured in small numbers of mm) which can be challenging.
Also most extension tubes will foreshorten the maximum range of the lens. So focusing to infinity on the lens will mean you can only focus to maybe 50cm or so. Fine for close work, don't expect to be able to use it for anything else with the tube on board.
Apart from these limitations the tubes aren't too bad at all. As barfy mentions they don't introduce any more glass in the path.
One other option to consider is a bellows type rig. These are like an adjustable extension tube. I got one with my novoflex 400mm and it's got potential for macro too.
