Macro closeup of flower

Closeup Filter

Bought set of 4 closeup filters (58mm) for Canon. They work like a charm. The set includes 1x, 2x, 4x and 10x. I tried them on a 50mm, 100mm, and 65mm. With the MP-E 65mm at 5x + a 10x closeup lens, I feel like I’m getting toward microscopic without the electron microscope cost.

New tripod for macro

Looking forward to trying out new Manfrotto 190XPROB Pro Aluminum Tripod Kit from B&H photo. So done with my cheap tripods and hoping this one is sturdy and a keeper. Anyone have experience with this model? Working the macro magic.

Getting used to the 60D. This camera has so many options that I’ll be busy for a while taking awesome shots…well, that’s the plan. Anyone else have experience with this camera?

Getting Closer

The LUX FARM :: Photography by Taylor Mickle — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 23:44:35 +0000

Working on extreme macro photos up to 5x. This lens can go from 1x (100mm) to 5x (41mm). Have to watch that the object doesn’t hit the lens — it’s THAT close!
