Stella Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 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?

CatBrat Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks guys/girls!! Haha don't be embarrassed...we're all friends ere :lol: I have been looking at getting a macro lens for my Canon A710. 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 It does take extra lenses, it just needs an adapter first.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatBrat Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozski Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
