I love macro, and it's just about what I'm OK at (unlike landscapes, portraits and other genres). You'll mostly see me in that section of the forum, though I'll flit through others from time to time if that's OK by you lot :)

I have been taking macro pictures for years, and it's reached the stage of competent I hope. Always room for improvement.

I'm hoping soon to get the new KX800 flash unit when it arrives in the UK, to compliment my current set up, which is a Yongnuo YN14-EX with home made diffusion, as well as my Yongnuo 560 III, for my 70D camera.

My lenses for macro are the Canon 100mm L IS, and the new LAOWA Venus 60mm 2:1 macro lens (but I also have the nifty fifty, Canon's 18-135 IS STM, and the Sigma 150-500 OS HSM).


Paul.

UHH has VERY few photographers using a LAOWA Venus 60mm 2:1 macro lens, so we are anxious to see examples of your macro work. Also, please consider posting a photo of your 60-mm macro set-up here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-1.html

Welcome to the Hog, Paul. I see Nikonian72 has already reached out to you. He is the administrator of the Macro section and a great resource here on all things macro. ;)

I looked at your site and I must say that you have a good vision. I like your work. You know what you are doing and you do it well.
