Hey all,

I got a new macro lens for my camera last night (canon 60mm macro), and thought I would post a couple of my first pic's with it...

If any of you guys have any macro's post them on here too! I always love looking at the small world!!!

Cheers, Jake.

Geez. That's amazing photography!!

We'd be too embarrassed after seeing your pics :oops:

WOW!

Silly me. You do

Nice. I love macro's of Insects.

Awesome photos!

I have been looking at getting a macro lens for my Canon A710. Well, just thinking about it really, I know nothing of price or quite what it does or how to use it....

I mostly use my camera on the macro setting (fish, insects, plants, fungi) and I think the lens could be really useful for me.

Could you please fill me in a bit on the detail?

Thanks guys/girls!! Haha don't be embarrassed...we're all friends ere :lol:

Hey stella, unfortunatly you need a camera which you can change the len's on (they are called SLR's or dSLR's). The camera you use can't do that Post some of your pic's though. That what I started with, just using the macro function on a camera just like yours!

Heres some macro pics that my dad took:

The fisrt 3 are of an awesome male giraffe weevil, we found it in our house, it was dehydrated, so we kept it for my sisters insect collection (dead one unfortunatly) we kept it for 2 weeks until it died

I like how the little haors are visible on its snout thing

I hate these catepillars, but this photo is quite detailed:

And a fishy one that i took

Its really helpful having a dad with photo skills:)

Here are a few I've taken with my 5-10 year old digital camera(Nikon 995) with the stock lense.

The spider was only a little bit bigger than the aphids.

It does take extra lenses, it just needs an adapter first....

awesome pics. how u neway cat brat recovered from your near death bike crash ???? :lol:

Here's a couple of my macro shots, just taken with a Sony H7 with standard lens.

A baby weta on my hand.

And my pet kitchen spider shot I took a couple of minutes ago. (OK I just haven't swept him away from his spot above the window yet :roll: )

Some awsome pic's there guys!! Here are a couple more from thisarvo...

Hope you enjoy them,

Cheers, Jake.

What are they???!?!?

And where?

Top one is a green sheild bug, and the bottom 2 are a jumping spider (around 6-7mm in length). They were just taken in my garden, although I found the spider on my tramp.

Haha i never knew the green sheild bugs were so ugly lol

what is the camera

Im planing on a 400d

Just took these this afternoon...

Beautiful shots TTK 8)

Got any tips to share Catbrat? Are you using a tripod for those shots? remote shutter or timer or anything?

I came home on Thursday night to my partner, and he says "I've been naughty..." :lol: He'd ordered a prime macro lens for our 350D, it got here today. Lots of fun

And because I love my cats, this is what I take pics of:

WOW! I know catbrat uses photoshop and take heapppppppppppppps of pics maybe thats his secret??? :lol:

Heaps of pics is compulsary Took about 130 of Kiras eyes, and cut that down to 40 odd good ones haha. That one I posted definitely stood out as the best though. But I am happy if for every 150 pics I take, I get one fantastic one, thats what digital is for!
