fairly obvious what it is

That's no moon!

lol

Just out of interest, having never photographed the moon, what kind of shutter speed do you need, and what focal length did you zoom in to?

Very nice Mig, awesome picture name
Out of curiosity what lens and settings did you use? I see you used a 400D. I really want to get into Macro photofraphy!

Yeah I think macro is maybe my favourite type of photography. The Mr. Burns bee was indeed a 400D with a Sigma 17-70mm (surprisingly good lens for the price and the fact it's 3rd party).

I upgraded after that though and the ice cubes was taken with a 7D and Canon 60mm macro.

You just love your 35mm

Funnily enough while I can't afford the Canon one, I been looking at the Sigma 30mm which would be perfect for my crop sensor.

I love my 30mm

the question is : is it a good moon ? for a 550d and a sigma lens

Not bad, which lens though?

But if you want a really good one, strap it to a telescope

D40X + meade LXD55

Only bad thing I hear about them is a rather bad AF particularly when focusing at stuff further away, how you finding yours?

Well in that case

Mine is fine but people do have issues. How much of this is down to inexperience using a f1.4 lens I couldn't say but it is definitely a factor. If you buy new Sigma will sort any issues though. I think it's a great lens for the money, it's made my 50mm f1.4 pretty much redundant at the moment!

edit: I've been nicely surprised with the speed and tracking of the AF actually, it's performed pretty well. I get misses in low light on the 7D, but I had misses with the 24-70L on 1D3 in low light as well. By misses I mean slightly inaccurate focus, mainly using servo on a moving toddler

Seriously love the framing from the trees in 2 and the reflection in 4, makes me want to get out more with the camera lol.


Found this laying near the back of my desk today, couldn't use it in a camera, so used it as a subject instead

I love my 30mm

worth a quote - lovely image

 

[adamau5]

great colour and DOF in this. i would love to see a slightly wider shot though, perhaps a third more top and left?

Hmm really tempted now! Only thing is that you can get these for almost £90 cheaper from reputable HK places online than from UK retailers but with Sigma's hit and miss reputation I'm not sure whether to take the risk.

I bought mine from Onestop... Live dangerously

I take no responsibility should you receive a duffer!

 

[Mint_Sauce]

Cool shot with the red dye, I thought it was potatoeshop to begin with.

 

[manjuice]

First post in here. Nothing special.

That's the shot, wasn't cropped tighter I am afraid

 

[Shadowness]

Nice shot Raymond.

What settings were used if you dont mind my asking? And was that using on camera bounce flash?

 

[Neil79]

Hate my canon kit lens, quality is crap

 

[Cyclone]

That's no moon!

lol, made me chuckle, for quite a while. Damn you!!!
