Improve your Photography Skills with a Macro Lens

Part 1

Open up the world with a Macro lens and see the centers of flowers, rain drops, specks on a leaf, they eye of a bird, and the feet and hair on tiny bugs. It is so exciting to get that close to nature and not get a blur or shiny effect from the other lens.

As most who know me, I like to post pictures of the area I live in so I took some pretty flower pictures with my basic EOS camera but then I changed and put on my Macro lens and retook the pictures. It is fun to see how they look smaller. I am still practicing with my new lens so they are not perfect but I am improving. I still have the settings on Automatic so the camera is doing the work.

Hi Li,

I love taking pictures  and this macro lens is so neat. It is like taking before and after pictures of homes or rooms.

Kristen - I'm a very bad girl!  When I bought my Nikon D90 a couple years ago, I also bought a Macro lens at the same time.  I've used it once, put it back into the camera bag and it hasn't seen the light of days since. . .Shame on me!

Hi Myrl,

Great that you have a Macro lens so you just need to get it out and use it. I practice with mine all the time now and my pictures are much better. It is a heavy lens though so I always keep my neck strap on.

Hi Georgina,

It has been lovely but the heat yesterday singed it somewhat. I moved some of the plants out of the sun and gave the others some extra water.

Lovely pictures Kristin.  I think my camera has a macro setting right on it.  I used it once or twice and haven't tried it since.  I will have to check it out again.

Hi Debra,

How cool that must be as a macro lens is pricy. I have fun playing with it and doing before and after. I want to get really close to bees but not had the nerve yet as I don't want to get stung.
