Doing some more macro, because I love macro. I am going to make a habit of trying to make little scenes like these, with objects that are abstract when viewed up so close.

It's gonna be a super nitpick, I just feel that the focus should be clearer on the seed as the primary subject; the last two pics seems a little off in that respect. However knowing its a mpe65, manual focus is tedious.. Just feel it would give that extra oomph factor to them
That aside, those are really neat compositions! I love the toy macros especially |

It's a hard lens to use but i absolutely love it. And thanks for the compliments I do all my editing in Photoshop, I should probably get saavy with lightroom but I feel everything I need to do is in photoshop anyway.

Yeah for sure. I didn't go much more than 3:1 magnification, just because it was hard to get any shots of flakes before they melted/a lot of them were blurry due to the thin d.o.f after 3:1 (sharpest one at any higher magnification was that first snowflake pic).
Here's the unedited version of that first pic aswell... took quite a bit of tweaking to get the details to really show through. The highlights get really burned out quick using the flash (not to mention the contrast gets way too high) ![]()

:J hehehe. TBH if i had a chance to go back in time, my ideal setup woulda been:
-Canon 100mm f/2.8 AF macro (I bought mine for ~$550, used it can go for $250+). -3 piece set of kenko extension tubes (on amazon/ebay goes for $200) Then you have up to 3:1 magnification AND you still have a bitchin' sharp 100mm portrait lens if you want versatility. Not even for just your macro lens-- if you have a wide angle or telephoto, it's extra range without having to buy a bigger lens. The macro lens i have is dedicated macro, can't use it for anything else. However what it does do, it does damn well. But yeah man macro photography is FUN AS HELL, definitely still my favourite kind of photography. Every little detail around you becomes interesting. Highly recommended ![]()

(I dont know a lot about macro obviously)
So the 100mm can be used outside of macro?

The 100mm f/2.8 AF is a wonderful portrait or nature lens aswell-- works just as well as a telephoto lens as it does for macro. There's a little switch on the side that'll adjust the range of your autofocus (so you can focus fast when you're close, or focus close when you're far from your subject).
On most cameras that aren't full frame, it becomes a 140mm range lens anyhow (1.4x crop factor), so you have a bitching telephoto lens with soft 2.8 aperture to drool over. Because it's for macro, it's been pumped up with a ton of center-lens sharpness, which carries over for portraits. Sharp lens overall. I didn't personally take a lot of portraits with it (that I kept/were worth uploading) but this was my favourite macro shot I took with it: ![]() 100% crop, no sharpening added: ![]()

How could you repair the burned areas? they look like all information was lost there! Or is it just an artifact of the low quality image you uploaded?
