So took my new macro lens and girl off to try it out...

First few shots, be kind, today was a learning day that is for sure! Wind sucks, light is never right, mono pod ROCKS and macro is WICKED!

Gear:

Canon 600D
Tamoron 90mm 1:1
Manfrotto Monopod

First few pics are warm up shots before getting out of the house.

Which monopod and how much?

I took some shots at the zoo last weekend (I'll post later) and used IS a fair bit because I didn't have my tripod. A mono would have been better.

With how bad my shakes are I need all the help I can get! Plus I couldn't afford a Macro lens with IS :(

It's a Manfrotto 679B Monopod, got it from digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au for around $70...



I leave it on the camera but shut up, I brace it against my belt to help with any shot... it also kinda acts like a keel.

Coolio. DCW is just up the road from me. Was thinking of picking one up for 'Nam but I'll be mostly shooting street portraits so I'll wait till after xmas.
Very cool photos Felix, kind of jealous, not gonna lie.
Thanks Spooph!

Lots to learn, and by learn I mean try and fail and try something different...

Going to invest in proper flash, make a home made light box and maybe get some extension tubes... I'm also learning about focus blending.

Hey Flix, I've been subscribed to this dude's photography for a while.. He does really cool stuff with Lego and other miniatures... All Macro... You might enjoy! Flickr: Avanaut's Photostream
Wow GREAT photo's! Gives me some ideas!

I'm also about to order some Kenko Auto Extension tubes... so prepare for some SUPER macro shots!

Sick! I want some shots of your nails looking like wood with a heavy grain to it... :p
