Gessman, I think you maybe correct. There are definitely some similarities. What was it about the design that allowed you to make an educated guess on the make and year. I didn't even know where to begin looking?

Very nice. I'd like to see it in color, too.
I wish I could show you a color version, but I only shot it in B/W. I have since learned from my foolish mistake.

Not sure what kind of truck it is, but an extraordinarily good B&W photo. Can't imagine seeing it any other way.

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is a narrow gauge railroad running between Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado. It runs over Cumbres Pass at an elevation of 10,015 ft. One of the benefits of this train is that it runs adjacent to a highway for a number of miles. After it stops for a time at the top of the pass, allowing you to take pictures there if you so desire. You can then get in to your car get ahead of it several more times giving you plenty of time to prepare to photograph it again and again. C&C welcome.

That makes complete sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain the difference. What would be the benefit, if any, if I were to use a set of extension tubes with this 90mm lens? Would it enable me to work at an even closer MFD?The best way to see true macro is to: br 1.) turn-... (show quote)

Nikonian72, please excuse my ignorance. I still am not sure how a close-up and a macro differ. I know a macro is at least 1:1 but how can you tell if what you are shooting meets that requirement? I see you cropped my photos much tighter and they maintained the same quality of resolution that they had previously. I used a Tamron 90mm with a D7000 and was approximately 10 inches from the bee and maybe 24 inches from the butterfly. In other posts, I have read that simply cropping a close-up does not make it a macro yet you seemed to imply by cropping my photos that they are now macros. I am missing something. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me? Many thanks in advance.
