Because of the size of the Datura flower I had to use my 11-18mm lens so this isn't a true macro but it is 1:1 This was shot with the lens face straight up and inside the flower. I also used a diffuser outside on the bright side of the flower to tone it down.
Yes very nice shots :thumbup: well.....that settles it...next lens is gonna be a wide one....16...maybe a 20.
Hey Bret thanks for you appreciation. The wide lens is nice to have I must say I don't use it very much but it is good to have when the occasion presents itself.
I published a topic called Australian and African flora, on 4 June, 2012. You should find these submission and maybe another entitle 'Random Photo,
Right on Shaka very nice work on both your topics. Thank you Nikonion72 for the link. I couldn't do some of my macro work without the articulating LCD screen of the 60D, especially the shot of the Datura where the lens faced straight up.
