New macro lens...first shots

[einsteins]

Hi all

Just got a new Nikon 60mm 2.8 macro for my D50. Have not really learned to use it yet, cant seem to find many tutorials on macro photography so I'll have to learn by experimentation.
Comments and advice are defintely welcome....enjoy!

I really like this lens...can't wait to do some more soon...
I found it easier to manually focus when getting the macro shots...

How far away were the SPS?

 

[einsteins]

THey were about 8" away ...zoos may have been more like 10"
I used a fairly high F-Stop on those also, that caused a fairly long exposure time.

Melev ...thanks for the Link!
