Thanks man! Rebel XTI at the moment.. But in all seriousness, the lens makes the image. I am really really impressed with this lens so far.

Verynice man, what lense did you pick up?

you'll find the world of macro photography addicting and challenging. some of the hardest macro work you can do is waterdrop photography.

example:

last year i picked up a tamron 95mm macro lense and it's been pretty fun, great for when it's cold outside or raining and you feel like shooting.

Thats nuts!! Looks like some fun tho!! I picked up a cheapy Phoenix 100mm. The photographer I bought the lens off of replaced this one with a canon macro. He said that he couldnt find a single difference between the 2 lenses at all. He claims the optics are almost identical.. Meh, it was cheap and I wanted to try macro out lol

Very nice work, I'll say that you have more patience than me. I used to own the 100 f2.8, but I sold it. I had no patience for that kind of stuff.

BTW fuzzy, you should try the water macro work with the 1dmkIII. The 10 frames per second will surely capture the right moment

Anyone use a 5d before?? I found one reasonably priced, and I'm playing with the idea of buying it. But that camera is only 3 fps I think.

Never used one, but you are right, only 3fps.

Full frame though, that might be worth a switch if you have the lenses.

Edit: Was that you on the 403 today just before 5 in the right lane just coming up on the Linc?

lol, guess not then... I've been driving the RSX since my Accord decided to spring a fuel leak from the feed line. Weather has been too shitty and cold to fix it. Probably get to it by the weekend.

The cold alone wouldn't have stopped me, but the rain doesn't help either.

That combined with the fact that by the time I get home its dark, well...

Also not really looking forward to trying to remove a rubber hose thats been attached to this particular "pipe" for almost 20yrs.

Nice pics. I bet you'd like the same type of lens but in a fisheye. You can really take some interesting close-ups with that combo.
