Macro Mania

Sci-fly

The long weekend got over, It went by too fast and I was working half the time and no I did not play holi and yes Aasim did play holi albeit at his grandparents place.

This would be more or less the dull boring summary of past 2Β½ days BUT I redeemed parts of it by putting my 105mm lens through its steps. I took a whole lot of insect macros and I am fairly pleased with the results for the lens, I do wish that the AF on this would be a bit faster however the pictures are as sharp and as detailed as I would like them to be and at f32 the DoF is reaallly deep – no more thorax out of focus if head is in focus (well almost πŸ˜‰ ).

Recently I also realised that I know very very little about the several dozen types of butterflies which can be found in and around our garden and have decided to rectify that in the coming weeks.

  • Wow.. gud pics man..

    • Thanks for the compliments and more thanks for the information πŸ™‚

    • Thanks.

      Indeed – there is a lot of wildlife in every garden and we are particularly blessed in this regards.

  • those pictures were mind-blowing!!!

    • Thanks – where did you pick up that phrase “mind blowing” ?

      • err…nowhere in particular. why??

        • The phrase was made popular here by a judge in the TV show “Indian Idol” so I just wondered πŸ˜€

          • aah…heard abt the show & its popularity. sounded like a lot of fun!

  • that shot looks really cool. lie a science fiction illustration

    • Thanks – the intent was undeed to make it look like Sci-Fi

  • Great shots.
    How far is the front of the lens from the subject in this case?
