not taken recently, but this was one of my fave pics i took of my old car!

[siddr20]

yeah EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM. Only got it two days ago so those were the first couple shots I took with it.

Lovely shots slim!!

hmm i would have thought with that lens the pics would have been much sharper? Or is it just my screen?

[fullyhyperlite]

Just been playing around with the shutter speeds, aperture etc

Absolutely fantastic shots. What settings did you use for the second one down? Looks great!

that would be me being superduper shakey.. wasnt using a tripod so you can imagine focusing that close has a lot of shake, and the stabaliser can only do so much..

if I get any time this weekend I will take it out with a tripod and play around.

Thanks mate,

I set the ISO at 100. And the shutter speed to 6.8 (I think thats what the shutter speed was). Im still getting used to the camera, just a Fuji Finepix S5800

I was lucky enough to get it at a bit of a steal, 400 directly from canon, once in a life time. lol.. I was just about to spend the same amount on cheaper macro lens at a shop, so luckily I didnt.

Just another from one my group the other day.

I just cant wait for summer to get some more colour. Of course to get some more bugs out there as well hahah...

Btw since edj0001 didnt post a august shot, i thought i post a old shot too

Only August shots please.

Another contribution Unedited again, I dont have any programs to do anything so thats how it came off the camera. thats why its not totally straight etc. Was standing on a pile of dirt in an industrial estate. Shakey footing!
