I was out with my wife today driving up in the mountains and we came across tons of different wildflowers. So I thought it would be kool to take a few macro shots of some. I hope you all enjoy them.

[Canen Art]

Thanks adam123. Im glad you like these.

Believe me, I would love to get pictures of any kind of bear.

Im glad you like them to Jaymz. Now Im going to have to try to get back up in the mountains to see if I can find a bear. I know a few places around here, but they are hard to get to right now, cause its really muddy up in the mountains.

Jason

They're really good photos. Do you need a special camera to take macro shots?

Most digital cameras come with automatic macro but for extended macro and film cameras, you need a special lens, I think.

[Canen Art]

Woolfy... both of my cameras I can use the same lense. I use my 75mm-300mm zoom lense. I stay back about 3 feet from what Im going to do a macro shot of and then zoom all the way in.

Im glad you like these photos.

Here is some information on what kind of cameras I use. One of my cameras is a 35mm Canon EOS Elan 7 and the other is a Digital Canon EOS 20D. Both cameras are comparable to each other. The one thing I like about the digital one is I can upload pictures right away. Now Ive seen some 75mm-300mm lenses that have a macro button on them. That helps if you like to use the autofocus feature. Myself, I mostly use manual focus on most everything I shot.

Here is a quick picture of both of my cameras together. I do have other lenses along with flashes that mount on top of the cameras.

Best Regards,

Jason

They must've cost you a bundle. My uncle is a professional photogropher, so next time I see him, I'll ask him about it to see what he says.

[Canen Art]

Yea, it is a bit expensive. But its well worth it for something I a lot.

Thank you Karbon_Katana. I will try to get a few more on here. Right now Im adding some to my site. I have a bunch more plant pictures I just added. Give me a few hours so I can get the rest up on my site and then I will try to add a few more over here.

Best Regards,

Well here is another really neat macro shot I took with a few shells on the beach. Hard to believe that the biggest one is smaller than a dime.

Enjoy!

Best Regards,

Jason
