Yippie!!! I got my Olympus 35mm 1:1 lens today!

Now I have to really practice shooting macro. Well, here are some of my first shots with the lens:

1)


Found this little guy blown off a tree and hanging on by a thread of silk. I put him on a stick and took some pics. It was a bit windy so a couple shots are a bit shaken.














HEY! I don't care if you have a new lens, I AM NOT A GOOD MACRO SUBJECT!




C&C always welcome. Thanks for looking.

Good start with the new lens
Some missed focus shots and some with motion blur - lots of practice to come

Congratulations on your new lens Silversx80.
You'll get better at getting your subject in focus with more practise.

Remember to focus on the eyes doing good .... Skippy

Thanks for the words of encouragement. This shallow DOF thing is tough, but I love a challenge. I can see this being the main lens on my camera.
