With getting a new camera system there are things that you have to consider: What body to start with, lenses to get, and accessories to have. All of these effect your photography because you may not have everything you had before so you have to find ways to make it work until you can completely replace your old system with your new one. One thing that I miss already is my 100 Macro that I had, while it was a specialty type lens really only good for a few things, I really enjoyed using it for Macro photography. But with the switch to Nikon I haven’t replaced that lens yet, so I did the next best thing. I slapped a Canon 500D close-up filter on the new 70-200f2.8 and went looking for some wild flowers.




I have no idea the names of these flowers, but they were really fun to photograph.
Not to bad for a windy day.

Holy Cow! Josh these are pretty cool. I just saw a canon close up filter in a local shop and passed on it. I think I’ll go back.
Hey Ray, thanks. THe close up filter can be cool but it can also be tough to deal with. You get roughly a 1/2″ DOF when looking through the view finder so you have to do a lot of moving around, but once you have it, it is great.
