And everyone else! Macro is often looked upon as a means to take close up photos of flowers or insects. But, there are thousands of other objects that lend themselves to macro. Look around your home, as the pics below show, and you will find so much to photograph and practice techniques.

The following photos were all taken with the Sigma 105mm speed 1/60th. aperture f/16. The camera flash was set to commander and the SB800 to remote TTL. All shots are handheld.

'Master of Macro' sirhc55 (Chris),

hmmm...I can achieve this after 2-3 hours @ 'Macro Meet' .

Realistically speaking I don't think so, but I will be better off than I am at present: sucks . BTW: I am listening to a new CD I purchased this morning from one of your fellow countryman 'ROD STEWART - THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK COLLECTION'. (This Special Package Contains 3 CDs).

Have a great day,

Fozzie - practice makes perfect is not quite true, but you can get pretty damn close.

My countryman singing American songs! Traitor

I like his music too

Chris,

Lousy weather again today, 15-20 knot gusting wind . I don't think tomorrow is going to be any better.

I can't do shoots inside, and I will send PM shortly to explain. BTW: I like your inside shots... bugger, bugger . The threaded shaft, is that part of a press .

Rod Stewart is a smart artist, he knows where the bucks ($$$$) are.

Cheers,

Great, interesting shots of everyday objects, Chris. I'm just about to give my new Sigma a fly.

Cheers
Peter

Fozzie - the threaded shaft is part of a French terrine press

Peter - I look forward to seeing your shots

You toff, Chris

Well Chris,

I had another go today, after reading plenty last night and I hope that this is an improvement:



Goodbye for now,

Fozzie - that is a very nice shot - great colour and sharp - I like

Here’s one that I shot today during the GP. 105mm macro f/32 1/500th sec - twin flash

Chris,

I only wish I could produce a shot like that, but it now gives me a goal.

I followed your instruction today. Practice makes perfect, but not quite there, but in IMO I am getting better. BTW: another shot from today from a Nikon 60mm f/2.8 macro lens:

I await everyone's comments.

Cheers,

fozzie,
Happy to see you get the Nik out and tried! lot better than the Sig you used yesterday though (all at your level of exepriences in Macro)
