Experiments in Macro
Wednesday, January 4, 2012
I got two awesome new lenses for Christmas! A Nikon 35mm f/1.8 Lens
I went on a walk around my neighborhood to grab some quick shots to practice. Getting good focus is really tricky with macro because the depth of field is so shallow, so it takes some practice.
But this is one of the first shots I took, and I love it!
I love this last shot too!

Fantastic! I especially love the last two! Yay for new lenses!
WOW Jaymi!! Those first 2 are amazing.
I LOVE the bee (one of my favourite macro subjects) and the tiny hairs on the flower in the second are gorgeous. The next lens on my wish list is a macro lens... oh so expensive!!

How exciting! I've been thinking about switching...any pros/cons to share about Nikon? :)
Love the 2nd to last pic....perfect angle and love the bee...yellow and purple always make a nice combo. :)

Oh my gosh! You are a pro already! These are stunning! I haven't had my macro on my camera in at least a few weeks. This makes me want to pull it out again!

Oh my goodness! You're a pro with those macro lenses already!
Wonderful shots!!!!
Which lens do you like better?
I have the Canon 100mm .... ♥ it!
Happy Shooting!
I have the 35mm too and have always loved that lens! Macro is one of my favorites to shoot, at least in the warmer months on the east coast. Fun to get down low and see what lurks there, ha! I agree it can be rather tricky so I rarely shoot without a tripod and remote or timer release. You're rockin' it so far, enjoy!
