Title: Pear blossom macro photo
Post by: grandpawrichard on March 07, 2010, 12:47:22 PM: I just took this macro photo of a Pear Blossom in my back yard. It really isn't a true Macro photo because I took it with my Canon 400 mm L series lens from a distance of 14 feet. (the closest I could get and still get the lens to focus. :o )

I think it came out pretty darned good even though the weather is quite dark and nasty today and I was hand holding the long lens. :)

I hope you enjoy the photo. :)

Thanks Bone! :) I guess I am pretty lucky. I don't seem to have much trouble hand holding the 400 L. :o (even though my 400 L doesn't have IS). I do have an old 500 mm. Mirror lens from my old film camera days that I was never able to hand hold. I took it to a camera shop locally to adapt it over to an EOS mount (it just screwed on to the back of the lens.) I could not get a decent photo out of that lens, but the Lady at the shop could hand hold it and get awesome photos! :o :(
