Just picked up the 60mm macro lens by canon. Have owned the MPE for the past three months and been having a total blast, but wanted to open up my range a bit, and also needed a good portrait lens, so its been working out.
here is my first shot with the lens so far.

    Spring Crocus with 60mm canon
    I was really wishing as i took these shots i had my MPE with me, but the time was there, and i had to use what i had. The only reason i say this is because i have only had this lens a few weeks, and havent really figured out the best way to shoot with it as of yet. any hints and tips to make a nicer photo than the ones i've posted would be greatly appreciated . I am not sure why the drone fly is so blurd, I thought i was holding it so steady.
    anyway here are the shots i got.

    Looking good Nano, the fly's eye looks good thumb.gif
    Missed the focusing with the bees though.

    I like the purple flowers, enjoy your new toys Nano.

    Good series of shots.
    Not sure if these are natural light or flash but you really need to be shooting around 1/120-1/200th to prevent camera blur - more hints etc here if you haven't seen them http://www.flickr.com/groups/topic/66514/

    Just keep on practicing :)
