Fun in the pool

these two are real water rats, once in it is difficult to get them out.

I am now the proud owner of a canaon100mm lens which my daughter gifted me,
and this is one of the first trial shots with it.

It is so new to me and so different, especially with the focus ring which I am not used to. I will need to practice using it and appreciate any tips and advise.

This is a great shot - I think you've nailed it first go :)

[Annie D]

great shot - my girls were the same

[moni kozi]

Happy kiddies, you included :D You are just a big kid with a new toy :D
Have fun with it!
I guess the only tip I could provide would be Practice! Practice! Practice! and... Practice!

If this is one of the first trial shots I would say you don’t need to practice. It seems as if you have nailed it. Of course you had a beautiful subject to photograph!

[Milanie]

This is terrific

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Such a cute and fun shot.

[Pam]

Adorable shot! I use my 100mm a lot. It is great for macro. You are going to love it. It does take a bit to get use to the focusing. I often use macro tubes with it. It is amazing to be able to capture small things that sometimes the naked eye cannot see. I hope you enjoy it.

Look at those happy smiles...Sweet capture...

[Louise & Ken]

You certainly got a lovely photo, and with such adorable subject matter, you'll have fun practicing with that lovely new gift! What a thoughtful daughter!!!

[narayani]

Lovely shot

[Rick]

Looks like you managed it very well. Just not sure I can handle the manual focus if it's not on a tripod.

[LManning (Laura)]

A great shot of their water fun. Enjoy the new lens!

[Dawn]
