Firefox 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2005 I really wanna go out to get a macro-reversing ring just so that I can get a close-up next time.. So.. Anyone knows what these bugs are? Wanted to get more shots of this beetle but some stupid ant walked into the beetle and it flew off.. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpribadi 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2005 Wow, very nice macro shots Firefox ! Dunno what bug is that. Tropical, with distracting background as HDB, probably you can just shoot some part of the H-D in close up My2cents For bikes, try lower angle and wider lens to give a more "wow" perspective My3rd cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2005 I think the sigma is not wide enough after the 1.5x crop.. the kit lens might be better in this case ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firefox 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2005 Wow, very nice macro shots Firefox ! Dunno what bug is that. Thanks for the kind comments.. Somehow I find it easier to shoot the insects well than plants.. Then again, it could have been the winds blowing the plants.. Heh.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My camera has anti-shake but it wasn't switched on at the time (I forgot to charge my batteries and I was trying to conserve power.. LOL..). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
