These are really great, Dante! I especially liked the first one!

[Dante King]

Thanks!

[weemannie]

Great shots, particularly the first two

The second picture is nice, and is our native flower, the California Poppy.

Yes sireee! They are blooming up north here like crazy. They are one of my favorite subjects.

Been messing around waiting for the sears dishwasher repair person. Here is a different crop. I find this to be most interesting.

Nice Dante, I almost sneezed at all that pollen, very sharp. I can't wait to get my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro, I have shot a few macros with the 17-85mm EFS lens that came with my kit, though the pictures looks are nice I am not that impressed for my own taste. Right now the weather in CA cannot be beat and this is the best season to get your Macro photography on!

[Dante King]

I know I am going to sound like a tamron spokesperson. But check out their marco line up. I am quite impressed by it and how it stacked up. By getting tamron's macro, I was able to save for the 10-22mm. LOL. I'm sick, but I know that.

I like em!!

[am_pitbull_terrier]

I like them too :) nice shots

[Solo175]

I like them both, but number 2 is my favourite. That is up close and personal with a California Poppy and the lens to do so.

[Dante King]

Thanks Skade, PitBull and Solo175!! Glad you like them. Trying to get my wife interested is like, well...She just plain does not care.

Muhahahahahaha (evil laugh). What one are you going to get? I have been having a blast with my macor lens of late. Really gives a shift in your perception. To me ther eis somehting truely facsinating about the "small world"

Dante,
was looking seriously at the Canon EF 100mm 2.8 Macro , but looking at your pictures has thrown a spanner in the works. From what i can see and read in the other Macro lens threads, the Canon is a great "Introduction to Macro photography lens".
This is definitely one area of photography that i have not explored but am very keen to do so.

Khiem.

Wow, the pollen is crystal clear! I want one(lens) too! *****Jealous*****

Only good thing is that she never goes into my camera bag to take inventory! LOL

cfcRebel, shooting macro is really fun. When I walk around the mountain that is above my house, I love the scenery, but I find myself looking down at the tiny little flowers and other subjects that would make interesting macro subjects.

Very, very nice, especially the Sears dishwasher repairman waiting one (Whew! Verbose). Wish we had those poppies in Colorado.

No, but you have Columbines!!!!! Very pretty flower. I used to live in Denver. Loved the mountains-Heck just about the whole darn state.
