Following are a couple of photos indicating the settings of Macro in D60. Even though the lens being used here is not a Macro Lens, the photos are pretty good..

All these photos are almost of the same settings..

I was testing the way D60 handles Macro and here is the result. On the right is the picture of a Porcelain tortoise. The Tortoise is about 10cms in length and the small one above it is about 3-4cms. This was shot under an Incadescent light. Had to get the right setting while shooting with Manual (M) setting in the camera.

When I actually saw this in the camera preview, it didn't seem to look that good, until I saw it in my . I was actually able to see the dust settled on it. This was a pretty good shot, atleast for me!

This is called Light Painting. Basically, it is the amount of time the Shutter is open during which it captures all the light activity. In order to take this picture, you need to be in a dark place, set your camera to a shutter speed between 1 - 30 seconds. Once you press the Shutter Release button, you just need to start writing in mid-air with a source of light (preferably a torch) and you will get your desired painting! :-)

Nikon D60

2 weeks back I bought a Nikon D60 SLR camera. The smallest and compact camera that Nikon has ever released. Even though this is small, you are able to take some breath taking photos..
My expression for them was WOW!!!!
