Post your best Macro shots

[Dan Fleming]

Hi! Sorry if this is a repeat, but I didn't find a thread of this nature in my searching. I'll kick it off with two pictures from today.









Rebel XTi, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 @ 5.6 1/100 ISO 400, not quite 1:1, but almost, hand-held.












Rebel XTi, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 @ 2.8 1/500, ISO 100, hand-held 1:1





Don't be technical about macro meaning 1:1 or greater!

Canon 7D & EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro. Desaturated in Lightroom 2 and then increased iris saturation. Reduced noise too.

For some reason, there were no rose flowers to be found on my outdoor walk in Boston last week....

Thank you! Getting a hang on this strobist technique. Much thanks to you Sean. You were one of my main inspirations and source of knowledge for getting into strobism.











A shot back from the wildflower season in Anza Borrego (not sure if I ever posted this on TDP before.) This was when I first got into SLR photography and did not know much about controlling DOF. I borrowed the 100mm f/2.8 macro from a friend and just started shooting. Should have shot this at a narrower aperture.
