Macro

Last week I bought my first real macro lens and have been having a blast with it now for a few days.  It is the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR.  What a treat to shoot with!  I figured the best place to test out the macro features of the lens was a local park called Brookeside Gardens where there are tons of flowers (and bugs).  :D  

I discovered that the autofocus only works up to a certain distance (I think its around a foot) from the subject but you can get quite a bit closer with manual focus.  The VR feature is really helpful and ... I love my new lens!  

I am dreading the cost of all the big prints I'm going to want to do now.

Hey David, Just discovered your blog. Haven't had time to read it yet, though. :) Trying to get Jason's blog's link to you before our satelite link goes off. yep, your cousin is into blogging these days - don't know where he got the bug. Two years ago we didn't even know what the word 'blog' meant. :) Wishing you a great day, Antionette
