Superb picture, what camera do you have?

Thanks! We just purchased a Nikon D40 SLR. We had a Nikon N80 SLR, which was a wonderful film camera, but the film was getting hard to find, and expensive to develop.

This answers my question on the previous pic, lol, I have the same Camera and love it tho still learning, what lens and setting do you prefer for your close up shots, they are wonderful!

We are currently using a Quantaray 70-300mm macro lens, but it's actually considered a low-end (aka cheap) lens. Our dream lens would be a Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX lens. But, that lens costs more than the camera did, so the price would have to come down for us to get one.

Your current lens takes brilliant photos, I have the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens which I have been fairly happy with, Im so new to photography that Im not sure which lens would be my dream lens, however I do know that I would like better macros (could be the operator, is it possible?lol) and long distance shots seem to lose some detail with my lens. They are pricey, will have to save my pennies!
