Macro Day
Light was fairly flat, so went out at lunchtime to see what macroes I could get, despite it being fairly windy
Purple Primula  Sigma SD10, Sigma 105mm macro, f/22, 1/3, ISO100, tripod Lousy Wood Woodlouse in tree bark  Sigma SD10, Sigma 105mm macro, f/11, 1/2, ISO100, tripod Oxslip Relatively uncommon oxslip, very similar to the cowslip  Sigma SD10, Sigma 105mm macro, f/25, 1/13, ISO100, tripod Ex Snail Empty snail shell  Sigma SD10, Sigma 105mm macro, f/2.8, 1/250, ISO100, tripod Cracked Crocus Usually I don't alter my subject prior to shooting. On this occasion I broke off the three petals nearest to the camera to reveal the stamen  Sigma SD10, Sigma 105mm macro, f/10, 1/15, ISO100, tripod All comments gratefully received!

Re: Macro Day
Macroes, are they like Cod Roes?
 The snail is clearly more interesting than the others (In My Humble Opinion) |

Re: Macro Day
I like those, Mark - you've captured the colours well without blowing anything.
I'm assuming you used flash for the background to be dark in #1 and #3??? |

Re: Macro Day
In that case you've done even better to isolate the subject.
And I thought you'd found the perfect macro light for plants.....

Re: Macro Day
Enjoy every one of these. Our primula are still a few weeks away. But it won't be long.

Re: Macro Day
Mark, I'm shocked, defacing flowers - what next!
 My favourite is the snail shell, I really like the blues and the flaking. Purple Primula is pretty and the cowslip, in fact the colour is nice in all of them. Thanks for posting

 Next? Well, it can't be moving away from THE best camera system as these were taken with my Sigma (although I'm progressing to the Dark Side with Canon!) Quote:
