New camera lens came in today!
Re: New camera lens came in today!
A low white pied? :tongue2:
The pics look really good to me. I can't help you on the white camera issues, it's all a foreign language to me. :) But, great pics!

It's a Canon Rebel T1i and I just got a macro lens. I was not expecting how far I would have to stand back to be able to fit the entire snake into the pic. It's rather annoying :/

With a Macro lens, you're supposed to get SMALL detail in the pic. The point of a Macro is to do like you did with the last picture. :gj: A macro allows you to get such high detail. Try doing that same picture as the last one with the 18-55mm kit lens on the Rebel. Your camera won't be able to focus unless you're about 18 inches away. With a Macro, you can get incredibly close, and yet still have the lens focus properly. ;)
If you want something that will encompass the whole snake, look at a wide angle lens, that can go 17mm or less, such as a 12 or 15mm prime lens. :)

Yea I know, this is why I wanted the macro lens. I guess I was just a bit naive in thinking that I could get the best of both worlds for the price.
Whatever. I'm going to make this thing work :P

In time you will get better. Don't be afraid to get close with that lens. Like REALLY CLOSE. You should be able to take a pastel's eyes and be able to see just how vibrant the green is in those big glassy eyes. (Just for example.) Also, read read read. A lot of people don't know that's one of the keys to getting better at photography. :gj:
