Greetings from another newbie. I've just purchased a Nikon D-60 with a couple of different lenses. I had been on the fence about buying a DSLR for about a year now. Dissatisfaction with my point and shoot Sony finally pushed me off the fence and into the fray. I'm pretty excited to start shooting some better-than-my-Sony pictures...

Macro photography is really what picques my creativity at the moment and I'm looking for some advice on the best set-up for a beginner (i.e. macro filters vs. extension tubes vs. fixed focal length macros, etc.) I'll mostly be using available light, and may consider a ring flash set-up, we'll see. But for now I'm trying to soak up as much info as possible.

Thanks.
