Dear Venomland Members and Friends, Venomland is a little more than 6 years old now and by far the biggest Hot Snake community on the Planet! We want to thank all of you who made Venomland the leading Board. We are also very thankful to our Moderators and Admins for years of hard work. Now, it is time to move on. I have been thinking how to proceed and what to do with our beloved board as we reach a size, that we need to make drastic changes to secure the future of our community. As of now, Venomland is hosted by a free (well mostly free) hosting service. That was good for the first years but now we need to find a new way to run our forum. I have spend hundreds of Dollars over the years to keep Venomland up and running, and i have done so with pleasure. Now, we need your help! We need to come up with several thousand dollars for our Venomland 2.0 project, which i frankly cant pay for any longer by myself. So Venomland is asking his Friends and Members for the first time for their financial Support. Please help to keep Venomland alive, and let us move on to a new, better Portal in the Future! Every Dollar is helping us a great deal. I know, its hard times for everyone, but please spare a few Dollar for our community. If you have only 10 Dollars to spare, we are grateful, if it is more, it would be awesome. We are planning to develop a very new Venomland, with real community functions, a forum like you are already loving it and a real (online) Hot Snake Magazin. Also, there will be download areas for scientific papers, Wallpapers and more. Again folks, we can only do that if you all help. Please send me a Private Message if you want to keep Venomland alive, i will provide you with the details on how to donate Money. For now, we can accept money from creditcards via skrill (please google it, its a free service - account-details will be forwarded to you) and paypal. All the best, and for a (hopefully) nice future of our Board. Mario

Hi there, I just bought a 55-200mm for my Nikon d40. I know it's not the best, but I'm a newbie in photography... I hope those photography are not too bad (and I won't even try to compare with Guenter's pictures!!)

Well done with the new lens, Lucas!
Just a hint:
If You would invest another 30,- EUR for an extension tube (12mm should do it), You could get a lot nearer and therefor make real macros with Your new lens. Soligor e.g. has cheap tubes. Nikon and Canon tubes are a lot more expensive and a nothing better, because there is no glass in it.
Cheers,
Guenter

I'll look to buy this. I'm really a newbie in photography. I begun that only to be able to photography a bit of my snakes and when I'm outdoor. I'll look up for an extension tube. Could you show me what it's like? Thanks a lot!!

Cheers

I really like the 4th picture, Lucas.

I'm interested in reading about this, as well, Guenter. I know a few people who use them, but I have always thought that you lose sharpness with extension tubes. Your photos are FAR nicer than my friends', so I trust your opinion more.

You loose just light - because the angle changes. And of course You loose depth of field. But extension tubes have no glass in it, so the reduction of quality is just because of the higher resolution (it is somehow like cropping the center of the pic out).

To get it to the point: With a GOOD lens You loose very little quality, with a bad lens an extension tube enhances the existing problems of the lens.
