Another reverse lens/freelensing here;



I bought a new lens this week. It should be here in the next few days so will be uploading some new photos soon!!

Below is a photo of our regular bird we're feeding at the moment. It's become pretty tame over the past few weeks as we feed it/ give it food for it's chicks. No longer scared of the shutter sound either!

Some more shots playing around using my 50mm 1.8 backwards to make a macro lens.


Plants and the Bird II

A bit windy here at the moment! Dragging plants and things indoors to shoot. A couple more shots from the Wildlife conservation as well. Tamron 70-300mm





I'm also looking at getting a new lens. After some thought (sports lens or macro). I've decided to go for macro for now. This is the lens I'm looking at;

The 105mm f2.8 Micro Nikkor will be a great choice for me and a good upgrade for my current macro lens. Quite expensive but worth it for the picture quality.

The Birds

Some shots taken earlier. Put some food out to get some of the birds down on to the ledge and then a crow came down and took it all! Managed to take a few before he took over though.
