Description

Many times I'll hear....Why do you want a macro lens? Well often I'll see things in nature on my many hiking adventures. A fine example; I find the texture and patterns of these plants intriguing, and thought how amazing an abstract this would be as a macro. Alas the image we have here is from a 105mm zoom lens. Have had the title "Beauty in death" stuck in my head for this image, but changed it last moment when posting. To the kind souls that leave their mark whether a comment, rating, or save the image as a fav, you are very much appreciated, thank you!!! Thank you all that viewed the last image below.

I can understand completely why one would want a Macro lens. Don't know where I'd be without it - oh yes I do dreaming of having one! Nice shot Dana, they do have such a lovely structure to them.

superb 'portrait'!!! (finally bought my 1st (2) (1 Minolta & 1 2:1 yay! :-D) macrolenses approx. 3? months ago, 2nd hand! (rel.cheap!!!) they had been sitting on the wishlist grinning @ me! for over 2 decades. loads of fun in the past with close-up & split-field 'filters' tho! :-D now I only want a macro twin-flash, a stacking device, oh and a hi-speed trigger ;-D)

I only wish I had one! - maybe soon? ... this image is particularly interesting, when zoomed in - it opens up a whole new world of fine details, probably ignored by some, when going for a walk - but never by anyone with camera in hand ;) impressive Dana, BB
