First attempt at some macro shots(pic heavy)

Thanks! they will steadily improve hopefully

 

Not sure if it's an actual Shetland but it's a mini horse type animal of some kind

 

Really enjoying thus Warren. What are you young for a light source on the peppercorns?

 

I just used the budget macro ring flash that is on the front of the lens all the time


The lighting could have been done better but I just wanted to fire off a few quick shots with the new camera

 

Very nice, I'm a Canon shooter myself but I have to say the Gitzo legs are sure nice I have a heavy duty set G-1325 MkII that holds down all my kits, 400mm to the Linhof 4x5

 

You said the 'C' word!! I would happily shoot with either(and some other brands) as they both make great kit(and some bad stuff sometimes!) I started off with a Nikon and for my photography I didn't see a need to go elsewhere, I guess when you get to a more pro level decisions are more important?
I bought the Gitzo used in great condition and it's getting on a bit but it's easily the best tripod I have had, a little heavy but solid.
Your Gitzo is carbon I believe? very nice

 

Personally I see the choice of maker more about how one shoots, what their needs are, canon fills what I shoot and couldn't be happier. I'd only change if I needed better low light imagery, as canon takes the back seat on higher ISO shots...

Yup CF and heavy but so solid

 

Those are AMAZING Warren!!

I took a picture with my cell phone a while back...wish you'd been here to take it instead lol:



We'd been out scorpion hunting with black lights, and the sunflowers looked incredible...maybe you can recreate it if you have them there. I think it would turn out incredibly with your setup!

 

Reminds me of the movie Avatar
