[Tracie Broadhead]

Handheld Canon 100mm macro lens Tracie

[Ron]

Now how did you get this? I know some of the animal folks that work for the movie studios use tricks like catching flies and then chilling them so that they move slowly.....or not at all. Amazing that you can get this view.

[Poppo Livy]

@stray_shooter I have to confess that the old introductory Canon Macro lens has been abandoned in favour of the latest Canon IS USM 100mm Macro. I got it second hand off e-bay so was still a bargain. Other than that, no tricks. Watch for tonight's posting

[Rachel]

What, you got a whizz-bang macro lens and didn't tell me? :(

[Poppo Livy]

@888rachel Well its got whizz but I'm not sure about the bang

[Rachel]

@terryliv I would have sold you mine for a good price...and got myself a new one.

[Poppo Livy]

@888rachel Mine was practically brand new. Offered the guy who was selling it the advertised price and he said nah, and talked me down $50. Go figure that one out :-)

[Margaret Brown]

Fabulous focus, fav

[Jerome]

fantastic shot

[Rosie Kerr]

With due regard to the Aussie lens negotiations, @888rachel and @terryliv , such a terrific shot, with brilliant focus. Fav, here.

[John Falconer]

Fabulous close-up.

[Caroline]
