More time in the Bog...

Just took my new macro lens for a test drive. I have to say first impressions are very positive. The colour and contrasts are a considerable improvement on the previous lens. This being said I found the old lens to be really good under most circumstances - however, it didn't seem very responsive to auto focus of the 1D. Anyway, I took the new lens and 1D to the bog and I found the experience to be most encouraging.

Daffodils

You know what it is like.  There are some subjects that you never can master.  There is always something wrong, the composition is just not right; perhaps the colours are off - something is never right.   So it is with me and daffodils.   Never can quite master them.   They are an elusive creature that is one step away.

I have decided to try a different approach this year.  I am not going to try and make photographs of the flowers with my SLR but rather use my trusty G9. Like other compacts it has a first rate macro facility.   Not as powerful as my macro lens but really quite useful.  So we will see how it works out.
