My X-mas Present...New Macro Lens (DUW)

Hey all,

Got time to play with my new toy today. I got a nice 50mm macro lens for my canon digital EOS. Hope you like the pics...actuall had to cut all the images over 50% just to make them fit. They were huge.

Yea I know. That killed me, I was giving him a tubby when I took the pics and didnt see the hair until I laid out the pics...this lens is awesome!!!!!!

Very nice pictures - and you're making me go into camera withdrawal! I am hoping to get a Canon S3 that has macro and super macro on it! Would love to take pictures like that! A few more weeks and the camera will be MINE!!!! LOL

I've been a semi pro photographer for years. I have done catologs and stuff and it kills me because I have thousands of dollars in regular film cameras and hardly ever use them because I love my digital.

Wow...those are all great shots! I think I like the second pic the best though!

That is a wicked camera and some wicked results!!! I love the last pic of the burm's head. Great detail. Great shot. (maybe you can photoshop the hair out? lol) Funny that you didn't notice the hair until you looked at the photos. Reminds me of this flatscreen tv ad where they're looking for a golf ball and its so clear on the tv to the people watching. Anyways great stuff.

How much $ did that camera and lens set you back?

Well, I'm pretty sure my wife dropped a cool $300 for the lens and the camera now goes for about $800 with one lens out the door.

The money was worth every pixel

:O

must be a very nice camera....awesome quality pix

My brother is a photographer by trade (went to school for it, works for the local paper and does a lot of wildlife photography as well). I asked him whether he prefers film over digital (he's more into the artistic side of it), and he said there's really no benefit of film over digital now. He'd much rather work with digital.

That burm is hot :)

Ah, I'm green with envy. I've been wanting a Macro lens for my camera for a while.

I love the burm head shot :)
