First day out with the Macro lens in a LONG time.

[Markw]

Well, I picked up my D800 and Sigma 180/3.5 Macro lens today and headed out the door for the first trip down macro lane I've had in a LONG time. Here are some of my favorites. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

That's a really really nice combo... Makes me want to trade in my Sigma 150...

#4 is the winner.

So, when is the D800 and Sigma 180 macro Across America begin?

Haha, thanks. If it's the OS version, I'll trade you.

Thanks.
And Haha! Right. If only I was filthy rich, and people wouldn't be inclined to steal it (not to mention actually knew how to use it). That would be incredible.

[LinkTheWorld]

Very nice! I like 1 the best as well. I know picture 3 was most likely very hard to get though.

 

[Markw]

Aww thanks guys! My favorites were 1 and 3 by a long shot. I think 3 could really be appreciated printed large for the wall.

These are beautiful! I love the way you have framed the shots, they become beautiful scenes, especially the last one, where the out of focus mushrooms/toadstools make a blurry smaller relfection of the ones on the right in sharp focus. Really lovely.

Thank you. This field has always been sort of a passion of mine. I've gotten sidetracked for a while there. But, I really enjoyed my hour or two out with the lens. If we EVER get another sunny day here, I'll report back with more.
