Just tossing this out for a general photography conversation to get in the spirit of the season...IâÂÂm curious what lens/lenses are âÂÂfavsâ to Ugly Hedgehogs for flower close ups. We still have snow on the ground, but IâÂÂm trying real hard to think positive that Spring is right around the corner! Do you fav macro lenses or maybe a LensBaby, and if so, which of their lenses and why...etc.
I was out in my backyard and decided to try some flower close ups last month. I don't have a macro lens, so I decided to try to get a short DOF by using my longest lens, an EF 70-300, zoomed all the way out on my Canon 80D (crop sensor, so these were at the FF equivalent of 480mm). I posted these and some others on UHH about a month ago, but here they are FYI. Both at 300mm as noted, Program mode, spot metering/focus, SOOC JPEGs, the first at ISO 400, the second at 800.
