Is macro dying?

[xiangji]

I just started to get into macro but it seems to be one of the slowest sections on this forum...

COME OOOON!!!! I NEED SOME INSPIRATION GUYS!!!!

Most of mine were posted before we got a macro forum, and I've been slow to add new ones.

Macro is faaaarrr from dying. Sometime this weekend, I'll get some new ones up - just for you, lol!

Marco dieing????????????
What rock you living under everyone is getting into macro - there have been loads of people take it up and there are some fantastic people out there shooting shots!

As for TPF we get a good amount of buggy shots - but not as much commenting sadly - so go on start commenting, its always welcome - and the more coments given the more chance that more macro will appear too

Is this a challenge? I just went out and shot a spider......

I'm on the phone with Adorama atm, so I'll process when done.

...Overkill? Couldn't you just have used your shoe?

Unless it was a huge, ugly spider with fangs - I would have shot it too.

You know, I get the same $hit when I tell someone that I'm shooting dogs on Tuesday nights. Some of last nights bounty. (Acutally, I'm a volunteer at my local shelter. Please spay or neuter your pets.)

No Michael Vick here. ​

oooh new toys?

Yup, the main item is in the cart..... now some accessories.


(shhhhh, can you keep a secret? Adorama has refurbed SB-800's in stock.)

Wow Kundalini if I didnt just get a new puppy I would have to have that first one.
And yes she is spayed

Okay, finished the deal. Another refurbed SB-800 and some light modifiers to boot from Adarama. They are hard little buggers to find nowadays.

Now, the challenge by young Mr. xiangji. I'm probably not up for a good showing, but here's what I caught this evening. The spider that only needs a shoe, not a 12ga.

Until someone else posts, I WIN!!!!​

Crap, now I see the spots. Oh, well.... it's a deep subject.​

 

[skieur]

I'm sure my daughter would not appreciate those, but great shots! You do win!

Nice little bit of 70mm macro lens + 1.4TC + Raynox DCR 250 for some silly magnifcation

The main reason I hate macro is because it brings things I hate into extreme detail.

Not all macro is bugs.

I think I've posted that before... Not sure.

Yeah, I know - it was the stupid and obvious joke, but I just couldn't help myself.

Hope you understand.
