Photo-Tip-Fridays :: Lesson 5

Friday, May 1, 2009 Posted in Tips/Gear

Hey Gang,

Happy PTF!! I know its been a while since we had one of these so I thought it be a good time. I just recently acquired a 60mm micro f/2.8D lens, used for close-up shots. I thought Id take it out in the poring rain yesterday, I’m still laughing about what my neighbors must have thought seeing me out there just drenched! This compact lens like mentioned is great for getting in tight with your subject, 8 inches to be exact. Because you’re so close to your subject it’s recommended that you use a tripod to eliminate camera shake. Here’s my first attempt at macro photography.

p.s. This might be great for wedding detail’s like the rings? *wink*
