365/121 Macro/7

It's been said before, but I'll seriously miss the Macro theme! I love to get this close to things without being called uncreative for "yet another head shot".  Yellow is the color of today!

Lens and camera settings:
50mm f/2.0 @ f/2.0, 1/4000 and ISO 100.


50mm f/2.0 @ f/2.0, 1/320sec and IS0 100.


It's a good thing my E-3 has shutter speeds up to 1/8000sec, or I might have run out of headroom! The E-500 only goes up to 1/4000 and it would have cut it really close here.

Yet more macro!

Our red tulips are starting to bloom also, which called for another macro. Lots of bokeh again, and I really should start shooting these earlier, maybe with a light modifier to block out some of the harsh mid day sun, because closed flowers don't make interesting photos.


Lens and camera settings:
50mm f/2.0 @ f/4.0 1/160sec and 400 ISO.
