"common" blue - icarus blauwtje
about one and a half year ago i decided to focus a bit more on macro photography. After searching and reading serveral reviews/labtests i decided to buy the best macrolens (on paper) there was at the moment. The Sigma was new and the test's were showing this was an extremely good performing lens. I went to the store and they told me it was the last one at that moment available in the Netherlands(lol). Once connected to the cam i inmidiately became infected with some greed and bought it.
Shooting macro with this lens was giving so much fun that 90% of the time i'm out there is searching butter and dragonflies.
Through the year i answered a lot of questions by email with my thoughts about the lens.
It's a stunning tool to photograph with and i love it but it stays a tool. When you thinking of buying this lens remember it's only a tool. You had to do a lot of practice before getting good results. Shooting macro on 180mm ain't that easy and de dof is very shallow when you come close at the subject.
Thanks a lot everyone for visiting my stream, this beauty was posing nicely in a gorgeous setting with dew in early morning light.
