For Clarky....

I got my new portrait lens today. You might recognize it as a macro lens.
so I thought I'd try it out and post a couple of my first tries with the 100mm macro.
I know, I know, not quite up to Clarkys standards, but maybe in a couple days, I'll get some better shots.......

Thanks for the rap Don

Those are fine shots, I like the bee.
You are going to have lot of fun with it
Keep em coming.

So did you buy the lens to use predominately as a portrait lens :

Yep. Portraits, primarily.
I've got lenses that do the 100mm, but f2.8, and what is it 8 or 9 aperture blades?....

Bokeh, sharpness, low light, easy manual focus. All good portrait lens qualities. I didn't even mention the telephoto compression thing, (ie making a nose look smaller).

All Good!

But I will grab some macros when I can!

Here's one more:



what do you think?

I like! But then I'm a sucker for insect macros so I'm easily pleased...

I think the bee's my favourite of the lot.
