Macro

From Macro

Macro is probably my favorite form of photography to take.  I love how such a tight frame and close focus can make you look at a familiar subject as if it's totally new.  I have a telephoto/macro lens that I was able to use for this assignment.  It's not a true macro, or even really a good one, but it's definitely better than anything I could do with just my kit lens and macro setting.  It doesn't have the vibration reduction, though, so I had to bust out the tripod for this assignment again.  I found that I'm still having trouble getting the plane of focus correct every time.  After shooting for a while, my eye starts to hurt from looking through that little viewfinder!  And it gets harder to tell which exact part of my subject I'm focusing on.  But I love it all the same!
