July 29: Watering the Agapanthus

Rancho Bernardo, CA

As ***promised*** last week I am using a different lens each day. Today is a mild detour, since I decided I needed to try out the macro end of my 100mm which I also used at a distance yesterday. I discovered I have a lot to learn about macro photography.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/400s f/5.6 at 100.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I hope you didn't get your gear wet. I like the macro.

Very good macro Robin, I like the water drops.

This is really nice! I love the drops and the spray of the water! Great image

My previous comment was not intended to mean this image lacked anything. Just trying to encourage more and more macros... :-)

Good effort -- keep practicing because everyone says that lens gets amazing results. There's a whole miniature world out there waiting for you!

I like the spray of water.

Dougie Young		29-Jul-2006 21:59
But still a great result Robin..:>

Well, it isn't exactly macro photography per se, but its a wonderful shot with all that dancing water.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		29-Jul-2006 20:26
Nice macro especially with the rain coming in all directions.

Herb		29-Jul-2006 17:29
Nice macro

I like it.

Zak		29-Jul-2006 17:01
nice rainy day pic!

Gary Blanchette		29-Jul-2006 16:41
The water really makes this an interesting photo to view.

I agree with Pepe, first thing you got to learn is not to get your macro lens soaked, lol ;o) Excellent shot Robin, reminds me when I was a child playing under the monsoon rain in the Philippines.

I like how you caught the sideways splashes of the man-made rain . . . shouldn't your macro have zoomed in on one of those drops? You're keeping up with my flower shots . . now how about food =)

What you need is to turn off your sprinklers! It's raining! :^)
