My 16 images of Spring Close-up/Macro.




Camera Settings: F5.6 Shutter Speed 1/125 ISO 100 Lens Sigma 50mm Macro Mono pod used.

Was going to go out with the new lens but had a problem with the camera body so I had to have it fixed.  But pleased with this shot that I took up at Calke abbey.  This ever green leaf was lying on a wall with some rain drops on it, managed to get a nice close up of the leaf and the rain drop so really pleased with the out come can't wait to start using the new lens as it is a better and can get in closer  from distance. 


Camera Settings: F5.6 Shutter Speed 1/400 ISO 400 Lens Sigma 70mm Macro Mono pod tilt head used.

This is a sign that spring is around the corner when these beautiful little flowers are out.  Went out on the Sunday morning with the intentions of getting some shots of these. Pleased with the shot that I took.
