Macro

D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/8 1/5s 


Taken with a Nikon D80 + a reversed 50mm lens 
D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/11, 6s 
D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/5.6 1/5s 
D80 + Sigma 180mm @ f/8 1/5s 

All of these shots were taken in January 2010, but on different days. The last one was shot while it was snowing (hence the ice). The Sigma 180mm macro lens is a REALLY good lens for the focal length. It's amazingly sharp and balances well on my D80. The only slight problem is the auto focus, it hunts a lot! But manual focusing with macro is pretty much the only way at this focal length anyway.

    I love your work. I always admire photographers that make efforts to get good shot instead of just take candid B&W photos of people at parties. You'd be surprised how many photography majors do that....

    Honestly, sometimes the simplest pictures are the best. Your pictures defiantly show that is true. Very Good. Something I would expect to see in a calendar or magazine.

    Water droplets look awesome when photographed at such a close range, I specially like the third one.
