I'm still not convinced if I have a sharpest example. But than again I'm learning. To date all my non macros were shot with bigmos.

Thank you. I'm new to dslr photography and my film days didn't give me much experience.

You're kidding, right?? Those are GREAT to my eyes!!

Photography is about GEAR and not talent or practice. Practice won't make you a better photographer. Expensive equipment will. =D

Really nice use of this lens for semi-macro work. I've only experimented with flowers/plants like this, but now I'll have to try some insects too. Great pic.

I still can't get over this shot. I need a t-shirt of this.

It looks like Tigger tossed back a few brews before flying. Piglet is worried by this.

That is a funny picture. I guess that would make Piglet the "Designated Driver"??

Some shots from today, shot with a 40D...
