Did a few wide open macros with my Sigma 150.

Hardly produced anything documentary, :rofl .

Do they do anything for you at a more visceral level?

All hand held in natural light, manual focus at 1:1 magnification.

Wide open was about the only way to go without flash on my rainiest holiday since I dont know when.

Oh well :D .

    Well it produces nice backgrounds, but I find so much out of focus does not hold my interest as there is no detail to connect with ne_nau.gif
    My opinion only .... Skippy :D

    I think you have a good eye for composition -and getting a lot of depth in a photo is highly over rated... :cool

    really good, your photos ask of the viewer and present themselves in return, you have an advance assortment here

    my favor being the second, its alve and a friend of mine all along
    since the origin of matter is matter
    shiny new thoughts are recycled clatter



    down to my cell phone shooter,
    anyone have a decent early SD card digtal for grabs?


    a doomed love
