New macro lens

[socalrubi]

I just bought a new macro lens and this is one of my 1st shots...

f/6.3, 1/60, ISO 100

It's tougher to shoot good photos than I thought it would be.

Although the lens does have image stabalization, it's focal length is 100mm, so you have to use a tripod when shooting at a 1:1 ratio.

More to come later.

Nice!
What body are you shooting with?

 

[socalrubi]

Canon 30D, but I'm thinking of buying the new 7D.

 

[SoCal_80]

The 7D is nice.....I am shooting a 50D right now and am happy.

Braden that shot is amazing, the detail is just incredible.

Very nice! I just sold a macro lens and these photos make me want to get it back..

Braden,

Those shots are incredible!

that yellow pic is spectacular.

How 'd you manage the focusing on all those? It's not AF is it?

 

[socalrubi]

Yes it is AF.

Shot using a monopod. A tripod would be better.

I had alot of OOF shots.

Those were the only two out of maybe 100 that were keepers.
