New Gear

My light saber

With some free time . . . finally. I took this shot with some of my new photo equipment that arrived last Thursday.

The main feature is that I used my new Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens. After trashing the first group of photos, I decided to also use my new Bogen/Manfrotto 3021B Pro Tripod with the trigger release head, as well as the Canon TC-80N3 Remote Control. Because I did not want to turn on the artificial light or turn up the ISO too high, I went with the tripod and remote so I could shoot at lower shutter speeds, thus eliminating camera shake and blur.

I think I will be very happy with the shots that come out of this macro lens. I can’t wait to shoot something small, like a bug or little bird or something to really see this macro lens’ capabilities.
