Macro Sunday

I went out a couple of times yesterday with just the 5D and the EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro . In the morning I used a tripod for some weed closeups.

Deptford Pink

In the afternoon I visited a backyard garden to shoot handheld.

This is Absolutely Absurd...

...but I want one so badly. It would work great with my 70-200.

Imagine the crop factor!! Using only the sweetest spot of the lens.

Update: OK, it seems the device has a "focusing screen" in the extension tube like part. I assume the iPhone camera will focus on that screen. So, crop factor not apparent. And the image is upside down since there's no mirror.

But, I still want one!


If you want to buy me one, you can get it here.

From Small Bird to Big Bird

The mosquitos were awful this morning at Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve. I managed to stop walking long enough, though, to shoot this Great Blue Heron with the 50D and 400 5.6 with 1.4x.
