Thanks for your expanded detail based on 35 mm as well as current printing technical specs, Robert! I like your advice, I will take you up on it and just shoot tiny objects and make them look larger on my screen 😀

Great explanation, Beth! The detail using a ruler really helps as well as on the aperture markings. Thank you!

I am totally baffled about how to know if/when I’m shooting a 1:1 ratio to qualify as a macro? I have no idea what size my “sensor” is, let alone compared to the size of my subject.

@kwongphotography Thank you for always pointing me in new directions with helpful links. I’ll take a look and see what I can do – after I get the focus technique with my new macro lens under my belt. You are right, the autofocus is very slow. Manual gives me a new set of problems (handshake), so I’m getting in more practice with my tripod which…[Read more]

@admin-2 I feel like I’ve gone from a Kia Optima to a Ferrari I don’t know how to control yet lol 😀 😀 😀 But I’ll get there, I just need to learn to practice a new macro skill- and mind-set. Thanks for your encouragement!
First attempts with f/2.8, 100mm

I hope you’ll enjoy these shots of a monster insect I shot yesterday feasting on a Texas thistle taller than I was (at about 6′ high). Pretty scary looking, I love its punk haircut. Warding off predators? 😀 I’m currently waiting on a bug ID from the experts at davesgarden.com.
