Macros

Birding Top 500 Counter

The Canon 100 f2.8 Macro gives me something to do when the sun doesn't come out for birding. And when I can't get very near the bugs, I use my birding lenses too...:)

Excellent gallery. Like entering a new world. I also have the 100mm f2.8 it's a great lens.
Ted Chappell 24-May-2008 02:46
Amazing gallery! That is my favourite lens also, but so far I am light-years away from creating images like these. You mention 'in-house' flash: do you mean the in-build flash in the camera body? Heck. I have a ring-light which seems to be ok but again, results nothing remotely like these. Obviously equipment isn't all you need, a sack or two full of talent certainly helps.
