I've come across a Bower SFD 52C Dual Intelligent Speed Light for Canon E-TTL I/II Cameras does anyone have any input on this flash attachment. Since I'm planning on doing some macro photography and it's in my price range.

I'm looking within the $100. to $150 dollar range I'm also planning this year to expand into some macro shots. Since I'm retired I do have to watch what I spend. Thanks for your response.

Most would take sky shots for granted. Yet each is unique and is ever-changing subject. I like them all.

It's like I said earlier post the camera is only a tool in a craftmans box. A true artist makes the difference. Nice shots

Oh yes, I agree that it is important that the artist be behind the camera. I agree that the photos are fantastic. But I observe that those comments are muddy thinking of the basic question "are SLR really necessary".

Are the photos great was not a question.
Is it necessary to be a great photographer is not the question. Stop the emotional crap about photographers and pretty pictures.

usmc1063, no mater how good the photographer if the sensor is dirty, the lens cracked, etc, the photo will probably be junk. So stand tall and be USMC in caps rather than thinking lower case.


while you have been tearful about the great photos, my mind asked... humm how about those multi mirrored telescopes that electronically combine their signals and come up with a huge mirror equivalent. So, could we have a FLY eye camera with many lenses and many sensors combined. And could those lenses have different focal lengths so that the DOF is fantastic,,, Wow.

Stop the emotional dribble and think outside of the box. Think future.
Oh yes, I agree that it is important that the arti... (show quote)
Hmmmm a person who thinks out of the box and doesn't get caught up in the emotional dribble. What a novel idea. "Been there done that." But since I'm somewhat new to the world of photography I'm not adept at giving technical advice. Just advice from the seasoned professionals who I spoke with. Some of which say I have a gift. In fact one shared this with me. "I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!" Do you know by chance who said that? Ansel Adams. A camera is only but a tool. Like any other tool it takes a craftsman to make it function.
As for my screen-name that is of my choosing I don't have to shout out who I am to make me feel important. So mr. dpullum be a critic of my photographs when I post or any comment that I make. Just leave my screen-name and your assumption of what it should be to yourself. Thank you

First of all it's not the camera it's the Photographer. The difference being the skill of the person behind the camera. Anyone can take a picture but it's the artist who gives the best effect of the photo.

Your best bet is to take lessons if you like. The first thing you have to understand is your Camera and it's features. Like any worker you must know your tool before you can use it. DLSR's are especially complicated along with the manuals so it's often best to pay the $99 bucks. I can see that you do have an eye for photography. I like the pic but it could be better with just a little more understanding of the functions of your new camera. Happy shooting.
Just took a quick shot of snow falling this has not been edited but as you can see i have captured some snow flakes mid air.

The Moon can be a very difficult Mistress to Photograph. Some simple tricks that I have been taught should help you. Set your Camera to the manual setting adust you ISO to 160 to 200 make sure that you have a stable platform Tripod set your shutter delay {timer} to 10 seconds or use a remote shutter Bring her in as close as you can focus press the shutter and you should get your first clear shot This shot was taken with a Canon D60 18 X 135 X 67 mm lens and edited with Photoshop elements 9.

I found this Marina at a local Park for a Saturday afternoon it looked very lonesome. Soon winter will freeze over this lake and these last remaining Sailboats will be in storage.
