My First Macro

You really need to check this out Large On Black

 

OK... I'm coming out of the closet.... I bought a macro lens (Tamron 90mm Macro). As somebody that considers themselves a serious landscape photographer I feel like I have donned an anorak and now I'm a train spotter. I don't know why, but I have never been overly interested in macro photography before ,but all of a sudden I felt the urge to try my creativity on a much smaller scale.

 

You won't be seeing any flowers or insects from me, but I will be trying to bring some of the principles of large scale lighting and composition to the macro world.

 

I have to admit though that I feel very clumsy operating in the macro world where depth of field is measured in millimeters.

 

This is the first of a few exercises that I have set myself to try to understand the world of macro.
