Went to the University of Washington's botany house today with a meetup group. Figured I'd throw these up there. I don't really shoot macro stuff, so I'm sure there's lots to work on.

And my favorite subjects from the trip, the poison dart frogs.

Thanks guys. I usually don't do macro stuff, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Trying out new areas of photography I don't do/aren't any good at.

Is this the Canon version?
Good shots and results. But for these subjects you don't really need a 180mm macro lens ;)

Grtz,
Kurt

Yes, it's the Canon version. I probably could have just as easily used the 100mm macro, but I wasn't sure in advance how skittish the frogs were to people taking photos so I wanted the extra working distance.

Focus was pretty slow, and in not optimal light it tended to hunt. But, I don't shoot macro, so I don't know if that's typical. Very sharp and little to no CA though. For my personal uses, I'd probably get more use out of a 70-200 2.8.
