New Camera and Macro Lens for Christman Female
Default New Camera and Macro Lens for Christmas

My wonderful Husband gave me a new camera for Christmas - a Cannon T3i and a Macro Lens (ef 100 MM f/2.8 Macro). I also got a tripod and remote shutter trigger.

So I've been trying it all out. Below are my first orchid pictures. (the very first picture was of my husband!)

IMG_0031 - Copy.jpg IMG_0035 - Copy.jpg IMG_0040 - Copy.jpg

IMG_0045 - Copy.jpg IMG_0046 - Copy.jpg IMG_0050 - Copy.jpg

Still lots of learn! (but not bad for my first time out )

Carrie, I'm glad Santa brought what was promised:-))) Great set, you will have a lot of fun with it! It is always tricky to figure out at the beginning what settings to use for macro, so play with it:-) The remote and tripod is really useful when doing macro. Very nice pics!

Congratulations, love the one of the kingianum flower. A 100mm macro is a great lens for orchid shots, that's what we use for all the small flowers.

Just did the same with a Canon EOS 7D, a 60mm macro, I already have the tripod, got to care about softening the lightning now. ^^

I got a 100mm lens for my Canon XTi and a Bogen (Manfrotto) tripod. That tripod is solid as a rock! I also got a Macro rail which is pretty handy on the tripod
