I have a few questions and I know this is the correct place to get the answers. So should I ask in this thread or should I start a new one? Perhaps I should search the forum first. See, lots of silly questions already.

I am interested in macro photography. I have a garden full of tiny insects and I have been taking shots of them over the last month or so. I am now bitten by the bug! I own a D3100 and recently bought a Sigma 105mm macro lens.(all I could afford). I will see how my intro goes before delving deeper into my issues I have with this new found pastime.

Hi Adco and welcome. First off, there is no such thing as a silly question, if you want to learn just ask. We may not know the answer but we will always try. Nothing wrong with the D3100 or the Sigma 105. To keep things simple have you thought of using close up lenses which screw on the front of your lens and let you magnify your bugs a whole lot more.

May as well ask my first question: I like to use the single point focus on my camera. When I first turn the camera on, it is set for auto-focus area and I then set it to single point. Every now and again it jumps out of that mode back to auto-focus area. Why? Is there a "lock" setting that will keep the focus setting where I want it? I want to make single point focus the default and my camera isn't playing with.

Hi Adco, Welcome to the forum. Please start a new topic for your questions(s). We will try to help you as much as is possible. Also you can post a picture if it helps describe a problem or even if you want to show your photos. If you want to show many photos you can post to the My Gallery section where your photos can be held together under your username.

Hi there Only silly people don't ask questions. But, if you will photograph insects then it is logical that you will be bitten by a bug.  Only photographers are bothered by their kit and other peoples kit. If the photo is good the photo is good, and nobody is going to care what you shot it with. Although, as this is a Nikon forum it does kind of make sense that it's a Nikon. But many of us here have used plenty of other cameras in our time and still do. It's a tool at the end of the day. Some tools are easier and nicer to use than others, but if you need a screwdriver you need a screwdriver, if you get what I mean

Forgot to say, Adco....... whereabouts on the globe are you located? Add something to your profile if you will, to at least let other know which country you are in....if necessary, they can then answer questions more relevant to your location.
