Thought I'd start a macro gallery since my 60mm f2.8 macro arrived today

I knew prime lenses were sharp but this lens will cut you! Works nice as a low light/indoor portrait lens too.

Anyhow, have only taken like 10 shots with this lens and have to go out again but here is one of a little 6cm long lizard. The DOF is nuts, I shot this at f10 or so!



more to come.

damn nice! yeh primes are sharp as!! is that Canon lens?? my 24-105 is meant to be able to take macro shots so we will see lol

Took this down at the beach where these round holes are everywhere in the stone... may aswell contribute!

The proper reso image is pretty cool, 2592 x 1944.

Yeah its a Canon 60mm f2.8 USM Macro.

Nice hole haha bring on the macro shots!

I hear you got a new cam Jamie! Nice work bro!

I'm not a photographer nor do I take much interest in it, but a few years ago when I got my point and shoot Ricoh Caplio G3, I read a review on it and apparently it had one of the best macro zooms on the market (for a basic digital camera).

This is a close up picture of a little mains powered rock garden that was on the desk at work, the day I got the camera

Yeah finally man after talking about it for three months!

Thats a pretty decent macro for a point and shoot Joe, you cam has a 1 cm minimum focussing distance, nutty!

I found this dude wandering around my ceiling this morning at the back of my house. He was kind enough to pose for a few shots before being relocated.

EXIF:
Shutter Speed - 1/160

lucky it's at 60mm.. don't want to get too close to that bugger eh.

It was only small, I had to get as close as 9cm. Even though I knew it couldnt reach the lens I freaked out everytime it made a run for it. My wife thought it was well funny.
