Got my first Macro lens thanks to Steem rewards

It's macro time.

I've been fooling around with a silly clip-on iphone macro lens recently, you can see the results in my previous posts. But seeing all the great macros around here inspired me to get a proper lens. Thanks to the rewards rolling in from posts, I've had some expendable income to put towards updating my camera gear, which I haven't done in a long time.

So I just got a second hand Canon 100mm 2.8f macro lens and I'll be obsessively shooting tiny things for the next however long.


There she is.

Thanks Steemit, you're a real pal.

Excellent. You deserve it!

And sorry for my last remark. It was meant as a silly joke. It was silly of me, I guess.

No harm done!

Nice. It should be good for portraits too though:)

Congrats @jamtaylor. When you are shooting Macro, what are some important concepts or tips that you like to use? Seems Macro shooting is a world onto itself. Thanks for the post.

This is my first macro lens, so I'll now be learning that world.

I like shooting little bugs/insects. They can be really tricky. Can't wait to see your photos. 📷

Steem helps )) Take more good pictures for all of us. Here is my upvote.
