I’ve been wanting to play with macro photography for a while, so I borrowed a 105mm Sigma macro lens from a buddy of mine and went to work with it on the motherboard that I replaced last week. It was pretty interesting working that close, most of the things I shoot are either scenery (usually pretty far away) or the occasional portrait (at least a few feet away). This time though, my lens was inches away from my target.
Sadly, the lens was not good enough to catch the light-cycles while they were racing…
The hole for the screw must be one of the giant canyons…
The depth of field control I had available with this lens was amazing. Usually, it doesn’t much matter what I aperture I shoot on, I could see a huge difference here though.
It was definitely fun, though a bit more time consuming than I’m used to.
oohh, its so pretty! :-)
That lens sounds like it would be fun to play with. Hmm photography is an expensive hobby. :)
I already have my next three lens purchases lined up:
80-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor zoom
105mm f/2.8 Nikkor micro
50mm f/1.4 Nikkor prime
