Macros and Portraits

October 22, 2007 by debbie T | Digital Photography • Flickr

I am loving my new Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens. It is rarely off the XTi these days. I have been shooting EVERYTHING.

Here are two of my recent favorites (click the thumbnail for a closer look at my flickr page):

(Don’t you just love the lips in the middle of the plant!?)

and My Mindy – the 100mm lens is not just a macro lens, but a portrait lens too.

Debbie,
It’s Dama from the QVC site. I am still loving looking at your pictures. They are awesome!! What kind of flower is that???

Hey Dama, how nice of you to comment! Thanks!

To answer your question, it isn’t a flower at all, I have been told it is a succulent – sort of like a cactus. It is a tiny little plant, but there is a bunch growing in our front garden!
