my 1st macro lens

[lorigon27]

So i've seen alot of macro shots recently, that i think are really awsome.
And decided to go buy a canon 100mm 2.8 usm
Arrived today while i was at work (couldnt wait to get home).
Just now opened it and was wondering if any of you have this lens , and your opinion of it??

Also anyone have any ideas of what i could shoot right now? its 11 o'clock here

You could shoot anything you want with the lens at a very close focusing distance.

A flash will help too.

Salt, sugar, pepper grains. Carpet fibers, fabrics, anything that might have an interesting texture to it. Jewelry, a burning candle.

Do a forum search for Whatsit.

Basic accessories for a macro: a good tripod (unless you are chasing little critters), decent lights or flash, a remote release (not strictly necessary, but helpful).

The key factor is going to the the extremely thin depth-of-field. You can either fight it with small apertures and focus stacking, or you can embrace it and use it to isolate the interesting aspects of your subject.
