    Two Macro Photos

    Here are two macro photos I've taken today using a 60mm macro lens. I'll have to take more at some point since using the macro lens is fun.

    That second shot is nice! Macro is fun.

    I really need to do eye shots, especially my pastel lesser's eyes (photo 2) since they're my favorites.

    I like the pose and colors in the first one, but wished the focus was as sharp as the second one.

    I completely agree. He decided to squirm just a tad and I didn't notice until I put the photo on my TV. Oh well, I haven't shot with the macro in awhile, so it gives me an excuse to practice and use it more often.

    Macro with snakes can be tough, lol. They like to move too much.

    I totally wasn't critiquing your camera skills I was just making an observation. It's not easy photographing moving objects.

    Yeah, i fully understand. I own and photograph my own snakes too and that's difficult even on "Auto".

    I definitely appreciate the observation though. Any little thing that someone else can pick out that I may have missed is definitely helpful, whether it's a photo or anything else since it helps me out. In short, thank you.
