Hi

I decided to have a go at macro photography so bought a decent tripod and a 150 mm f2.8 macro lens and a 1.4 tele converter so my first efforts on a not helpful breezy day.:)

WOW they're amazing pictures Brian. You could have them blown up and put on canvas, they'd be fantastic. Wish I could do something like that. Well done
 
great photos! I'm still trying to learn how to set up a shot manually....shutter speed, aperture, exposure etc etc etc................all mind boggling stuff and constantly doing my head in :bang::bang: maybe some day it'll all sink in:snap:
 
Beautiful pictures.
Like Claire said I am also still trying to get my head around AV, TV and the rest. I am lucky that I meet a lady at agility that got a Cannon and is a professional photographer and when she explained things it was easier to understand then reading the manual that is a big as the bible.
One Question what is macro photography?
 
Beautiful photos, Brian! The breeze didn't hurt the qualities at all. Wonderful of flowers , pups and bee:pi*no:

n the film plane (or digital sensor) as it is in real life…this is where we get the term “lifesize” or “1:1 magnification” as it is used in macro lingo. The term “magnification” is important because true macro photography does not involve “zooming” or getting cloaSFE/GB/BBH.ser to a subject; instead, we are relying on the lens itself to magnify the image that will be projected onto the film plane. In other words, just because your Sony F717 has a minimum focusing distance of 2 cm doesn’t mean that it can produce “lifesize” images by merit of its ultra-close minimum focusing distance. Zooming and how close you are to the subject really have nothing to do with macro; it’s mostly in the magnification properties of the lens. Still, just because you don’t have a true macro rig doesn’t mean you can’t get great insect close-ups.[/FONT]

Join www.talkphotography.com, Claire, you will learn everything you ever wanted to know! I shoot manual all the time after teaching myself and would never go back to aperture priority now.
