I would really love a macro lens, just like I would really love a lot of things but unfortunately my kids get hungry and we like having a roof over our heads, so I have settled with some macro filters. They came a few weeks ago but I only had a chance to pull them out and have a play over this last weekend.
I haven’t really ever done an awful lot of macro photography so this is a just a first go at something new. Just sharing. We all have to start somewhere.
For the techy/nerdy/geeky friends I have, the filter I was using was a 1:1 if it was on a 50mm lens, full frame. What I was actually using was a 1:1 filter, on an 85mm 1.8 with a 1.6x. When I have time, I’ll do the math….or maybe someone can do it for me and send me the answer!
Until next time,
Vicki
They are great shots Vicki, especially love the bee! Seeing it that close makes it look almost cuddly !!….oh and regarding the math above; sorry can’t help you with that. (I’m only good with the tax deductibility of lenses….) xxx
I really like these. I actually put the daisy as my background. Knew you wouldn’t mind.
Thank you. The math is too hard for me. It makes my head feel like exploding!
That’s ok Mum!
