Some of the most eye catching photos are those that catch a butterfly on a flower and the detail is so close you can see the ridges on the legs, the hairs on its wings and the pollen on the flower. This type of photography is very popular, most likely because it is hard to catch these moments even with the human eye. Catching a perfect macro photo is sometimes just luck. Luck that the spider decided to pause long enough on its web to snap that great photo. Luck that the bee rested on the flower for enough time to grab your camera, focus, and record the moment. I am talking about macro photography and the wonders and accomplishment you feel when you catch that incredible shot!
This week when choosing a macro lens to recommend Jason was so clear with his answer. He said there were some slight differences in the brand lens (Canon, Nikon, etc.), but honestly you couldn’t beat the 3rd party, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro Lens. “You can’t beat the sharpness of the Tamron lens and it is half the price of a new Canon or Nikon Macro lens.” Sounds good to us, because if there is one thing a photographer loves is quality equipment at a great value.
