Here is a new picture that is edited a little differently. What do you guys think?

I learn a lot from you guys and hope to get a macro lens before too long!

You guys talk about a really thin DOF with macro lenses. Does these lenses can also be good lenses for everyday shooting, or are they just designed for macro? Can macro prime lenses make good landscape shots, for example?

BTW, @tjons, that’s an awesome picture!

Haha, I do have a macro lens, Tamron 90mm f/2.8, and I know that shallow DOF feeling! Like struggling for 10 minutes to get a whole ant in focus… In that case, backing up is definitely the best option. I shoot Nikon, so I’m not sure how many megapixels you’ve got in a 7D, but you could crop it to…Read more

I agree with @Abbie Camuso, Having more beetle in focus would help a bit. Could you explain the thoughts behind the settings you chose, and the factors that called for them? The image does seem correctly exposed. I saw that you shot it @ f/14 and 1/50th sec. To preserve sharpness, I almost never go over f/11. f/8 would be much…Read more

So far, everything I’ve seen about it is better, and I’m very happy with it!

That said, since I want to sell my old one, I…Read more
