Day 97

Macro Week, Day 3 - A Flower.

Yay, my 24-70 arrived today but for some reason Sigma forgot to include the
box, guarantee card and purchase receipt. They were very apologetic though
and are sending them straight out to me.​

 

[Toothie]

Stunnign colours Marc

 

[Marc]

Thanks Ruth.

Hi Mark

Day 83 is definitlely the best so far (but then I'm also a speccy and have been since I was 8 years old).

I've got to the point now where I find they are useful for hiding the wrinkles

I just hope I don't need Deidre Barlow ones soon

But I hate having my picture taken with them on :shrug: go figure, although for my first self portrait I was wearing them.

Please, please, please don't stop. I know I don't comment much but I am watching

Great shot for day 97, stunning colours and great DoF

 

[ShrubMonkey]

Wow, the colours in 97 are fantastic

Thanks Jill, I've no intention of stopping. Once I got out of the self portrait mindset, things seems to open up.

Wow, the colours in 97 are fantastic

Thanks SM.

Day 98

Macro Week, Day 4 - The Sigma

Well, I thought as I finally have my 24-70 back and it's
macro week, I may as well take a macro shot of it! ​

 

[JDholic]

What macro lens you got Marc? It's really sharp. I'm leaning towards the 105mm sigma at the minute. I'm loving all the macro work but it's not making my decision any easier!!

It's the Sigma 105 so you're leaning in the right direction.

97 looks like its been taken under UV light

 

[SpidersEye]

I love day 97 - the colours are brilliant

Just a combination of stofen diffused flash and natural light with an exposure of 5 seconds.

I love day 97 - the colours are brilliant

Thanks Spidey.

Day 99

Macro week, day 5 - Cat's Eye

Weather was pants today so the cats spent a large part of the day curled up
on the bed in a depressed state. Never one to miss and opportunity! ​

 

[purpleclouds]

Blimey...how on earth did you restrain the cat for long enough to take that shot? I'm loving your macro stuff, it's fantastic!

 

[Marc]

Cheers Phil. He is quite good when I go near him with the camera when he's chilled on the bed. Mind you, after half a dozen attempts he got up and buggered off!

 

[JDholic]

Right, I'm buying a 105mm Sigma. End of discussion, (with myself)

Fantastic Marc.

Day 100!!!

Macro week, Day 6 - Cookie!!

Thanks to Sue for today's pic. She came up with the suggestion of photographing
one of the chocolate coconut macaroons we had just bought. As you can
imagine, it didn't exist for very long after the photo was taken. ​

[davekiddle]

Yay! Go macro (or micro as us Nikon users call it!) Love the flower (thought you didn't like those?) and cats eye - fabulous!

 

[Marc]

Cheers Dave. No, flowers aren't my favourite photographic subject but I loved the colouring on this one. I even chose the plant at the garden centre myself.

 

[Marc]

Day 101

Macro week, Day 7 - Saxifrage

And that concludes Macro Week. Back to the more random stuff
next week (Well I can't come up with a theme for every week. )​

 

[JDholic]

That's another cracker Marc!

I think just looking at yours and Dave's over the last while has confirmed that I will be buying a 105mm sigma.

Cheers JD. Let me know when you have bought it so I can claim my commission from Sigma.
