PART 1: LONG Day out with the Macro Lens: The Emergence of Spring.

[Markw]

Hi all. I had a good day Saturday with the Sigma 180mm F/3.5. Came home with 30+ what I would call "keepers". This is a fantastic day for me, as the total is generally closer to 6-7. This is a set that I think shows spring really is springing.

Anywho, here are some for your perusal:

Nikon D300s
Sigma 180mm F/3.5 EX DG HSM APO IF Macro

1

2

3

4

C&C Encouraged and always appreciated!

Nice to see spring is on the way. I prefer 1 and 4. Maybe would of move the twig ? in one, to stop that band appearing in background.

2 doesn't do it for me, not much in shot, and don't like the oof blur. Though can see what you were trying to do. Can really work well this sometimes. Just think there's not enough there of the blue or subject in that shot.

3's nice, but maybe a bit "tight" in the frame.

Thanks.

I don't really like the OOF blur in the foreground of 2 either, but I didn't see that on the camera until I got home.

Thanks again,
Mark
