Got outdoors today with the new Sigy 105.
It was windy and these were hand held...manual focus..ISO 100....only a UV filter....no flash used.
PP= Resized...couple I used auto levels and USM (100%+Radius 3.5)

    I love the milkweed shots. The way the hairs are glowing is really cool. Good job. Keep on playing with that new lens.

    Nice start with these Jim. I'm sure you're going to enjoy it once the weather changes! Can you give some shot details - shutter speed, f-stop, flash etc.

    Daniel, doesn't look like CA in the first to me - looks more like motion blur (as DavidTO suggested). CA fringes are colored (normally associated with purple fringing).

    I like those!!1

    Is that the better Macro around?

    Is it "reasonable"? I will look it up.

    But I want to order a Macro today, am confused.

    100mm canon, 150 or something sigma, and this?????

    ginger ( my husband is about to take the PC)

    I really do like what that macro did! Is it close enough to the subject if the subject is moving, like a butterfly?

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
