It been a while since i've taken any photos but just got the R7 and RF100 and been trying some macro - The electronic viewfinder is terrible in low light just a mass of noise making it difficult to focus - but with the help of a flash arm and head torch its improved it a lot- Daddy long legs f9...

Really nice controlled lighting and showing loads of detail.

I like this, good composition, well lit and action you don't usually see in a macro shot.

Thanks for comments,when you get it right the quality of the images produced by the mpe and 5d2 is just fantastic.

More commonly know as an earwig - poking its head around a dead flower head -

I think your behaving like my wife.............. She also reads things into conversations that have never been stated , I think you'll find the only person mentioning sensor formats is you ?

Personally I'd go for a 100mm - the working distance (distance from the lens element to subject) is just to small on a 60mm (approx 90mm) where as the 100mm will give around 150mm.

Hi - no - i took these from the road that leads down to the Harbour Yes - i prefer the first, i think the waves crashing from side to side of the picture provide better balance where as the second image looks unbalanced as there's too much action-less area in the L/H side - but i like the...

Thanks for the comments , i must admit the power of the waves was unbelievable, especially when compared to the relatively sheltered south coast where we live , walls and buildings have been washed away and there's a distinct lack of sand on some beaches which i dout will ever return ?

A couple from Porthleven today - very very windy with rain,sea spray and hail stones

Personally 90% of my macro utilises flash, why not try a 3rd party hot shoe flash from Nissin or Yongnuo and build yourself a diffuser, should be able to pick one up for about £50. The led units are a waste of time , they don't deliver enough light.

Looks like your getting the hang of the MPe, quite like the 2nd one, good composition and DOF

I use a 150mm OS for portraits , it has a lovely bokeh , but it may be a little long on a crop sensor depending on how much room you have.

The one and only Mp-E65 with a mt24ex

Ian the lighting is spot on -
