Daisies with rented Canon 180mm macro lens
Friday, June 13th, 2008
Warren, Connecticut. I rented the Canon 180mm f/3.5 L macro lens for a week and I have to say, it’s quite a nice lens for these types of shots. The longer (than 100mm) focal length makes for nice compression and the lens makes nice colors and beautiful bokeh. It’s a beast though so one really has to use the tripod collar that comes with it. Still, if you’re into macro photography this is a lens to consider. I plan to play with it as much as possible in the next week.
Brilliant shots Richard. The background colors are fantastic, especially in that first picture. Wow.
Thanks Justin. I think you could come quite close to this with the 200 end of your new zoom at f/2.8. Give it a go. Make sure the background is very far back and you’re as close to the flower as you can be.
