Okay, I just went to the Adorama website and ordered a set of macro filters for my 85mm prime lens. I just couldn’t take it anymore. So in 7-10 business days (or probably sooner based on my history with them) watch out!

These are fabulous! And I really gotta try this out.

these are GREAT! though i’m happy more comfortable seeing the starfish in this “dried” state than if it was still alive (with the spasms created by their tube feet)… now, i wonder what other treasures we can find in your grandson’s room?

That first image is so cool! I thought it might be a beaded something-or-other. Nicely done, as always, Lisa!

Very fun! I got a fish eye lens for xmas and have been playing around with it. I’ve found that if I attach it to my wide lens that came with the camera, I can get way closer than without it, although I don’t necessarily think it gets any closer than my zoom lens on macro.

I remember you mentioned using a fish eye for macros (or I imagined it. ))

If so, how do you use yours? Thanks, ~R

I have one in my bathroom, but I think mine is smoother. You have great texture there!

I love the starfish shots – umm…can almost smell them. I spent many hours at the docks in Santa Barbara Ca. mucking about the piers while our boat was moored there – that’s all we did for fun was play with starfish, then put them back in the water……they do have a certain charm about them.

My first link went to an older post. (I am technologically inept!)
Lisa, if you want to delete the first link that’s cool. The one for today is the second “Jennifer”.
Sorry! I’m a dingbat.
