Texas Macro

Apr 282010
 

So they say everything is bigger in Texas, and right now the wildflowers were just going off full tilt.  Jeff took us out to a place that had more wildflowers in a 100′ area than I had seen all year back home.  The varieties were amazing and the colors were great.  I got a chance to take my 105f2.8 VR out for its first trial run and boy did it not disappoint.

Pretty sharp considering the wind was blowing like crazy while we were out there.

This one was hand held at f13 to get the depth of field I wanted.  Hand held in DX mode to get a tighter crop.  ISO 400 to help with the wind.

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.
