General Gordon (18)
Continuing my fabulous and innovative tradition of taking a photo of General Gordon every time I try out a new camera or lens, my neglected 60mm Nikon 'micro' (macro) lens. This is it used as an ordinary lens.
In fact, I have broken quite radically with tradition: this is 'straight out of the camera' with no editing. I always shoot RAW and 'fine' JPEG; this is the JPEG with just tags, title and 'author' (me) added'
I think this lens is great: not just as a macro lens, which I'm still learning (focusing and angles are more imporant than I thought...) but as a lens for general purpose stuff. That said, I still think I should have a 105mm macro and am sneakily looking at others' photos using this focal length, and a 50mm. and more old, manual lenses...I'll grow out of it, very likely.
