My (Ha!) Macros...

[MuskyDude]

These are sharp like a bag of melted marshmallows. :thumb Some macros I've shot over the past few days (when it hasn't been pouring rain). Taken with Tamron 70-300 in macro mode, handheld...

Butterfly and ant sharing some clover.

Beautiful colors
Great shots
How do you like that lens for carring around all day ?
Reason I ask is I just got back from two days of hiking with my bag of stuff and it wore me out.
I need one lens for hiking ...no more:D

Thanks

FredHey Fred,

It does offer allot of versatility, but at a price (or lack thereof). It doesn't bother me to carry around all day, but everyone's different. It's not hard to shoot with, but it's not exactly easy either. :scratch For me, I'm treating it as a "training" lens, so I'll really appreciate faster glass, smaller sizes, image stabilization ect. later on when I upgrade...:thumb

Thanks for looking Fred.

I like these alot. The colors really work well together. They look sharp enough to me. I know some macro shots really WOW you with sharpness, but I like these kind of shots also.

Hi ya AJ......look at the colour of those bees eyes :huh how odd is that?? :dunno
I've never seen bees with such coloured eyes as the one you shot there, how cool was that capture :D well done.

I love that first shot too with the butterfly sharing the flower with an Ant :D
You'd have to be very pleased with this series you taken, nicely done.

Hey Skippy,

I actually had no idea it had green eyes until I got home and saw it on the pc. I knew it was different looking, but not that different...

I know I made light of the sharpness with these but in all honesty yes I am pleased, you do what you can do, right? :thumb


Thanks Skippy!

I like your first shot the best. It's busier than the others, but the color combos there really stand out and I like the comp.

Good shots,
Chris

I cannot think of a nicer compliment than that Zy, honestly. Whenever you can inspire someone else, it makes it all feel very worth it! That just made my week, thanks! :thumb
