Learning More About How to Shoot Using the Macro Lens

Even with the macro lens, it is increasingly clear to me that good composition matters along with an interesting subject. So I'm glad this fly landed (and stayed still long enough) on this ripped leaf.

Macro Fun

I picked up a new macro lens today from Henrys Camera store on the way home from work today. Have been putting it to the test in our garden. Here are a couple of sample shots using the lens:

About Me

Name: Keith Schengili-Roberts

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

An early 40-ish married Dad who has written some technology books, teaches at the University as an instructor in Information Architecture and in Content Management, and works at a certain graphics card company as their Manager for Documentation & Localization. The blog is about whatever comes up, and is meant more as a personal journal that I share with friends and family in order to let them know what's going on in mine and my family's life. As a rule I don't talk about anything work-related here, so most of the musings are of a personal rather than of a professional nature. If you enjoy as well, great, if not, there are plenty of other blogs out there to look at... ;-)
