My first few macro shots

[famanson]

Taken in the garden right after some light rain using a Tamron 17-50 and a reversed Canon 50 1.8 connected by a coupling adapter. There appears to be some kind of dust/dirt on the sensor, but it's actually just some water that dropped on the surface of the lens when I was trying to approach the main target

#1 The queue:

#2

This is my personal favourite:

#3 Twice the load

Thank you, I actually did some research on macro and tried a few test shots in my room before actually going out on the field.

Third shot is nice. Looks like your sensor needs a clean.

Thanks, everyone!

@ChrisA: the sensor was actually very clean (I cleaned it carefully the day before taking the shots). As I said in my first post, it turned out to be some water dropping on the lens surface (which was quite annoying), I used a reversed lens coupling so the working focus distance was so narrow I couldn't keep the rest of wet grass well away from my lens.

all 3 of these are very nice, focus is sharp and dof is good

Love number 3. Cracking shot!

To echo others, No 3 is a real cracker!

I would clone out the water marks though, then get it canvas mounted and on your wall!

Now you've mentioned it, I've fixed the water marks (I'm also thinking about a canvas as you suggested):

And here comes 1 more with thrice the load!

Thank you. Yes, I connected the 2 lenses together by using a coupling adapter ring I got from ebay:

#5 I've been pinned down by the cold lately Trapped in a dome of boredom:

I got the idea after shaving a little bit grainy because I didn't use the flashgun, but I like the idea and message

#3 is fantastic - the clarity of the reflections is amazing.
