Have I mentioned how much I love my macro?
I recently acquired a Canon EF 100 mm Macro F/2.8 USM. After many years of holding my breath to squeeze an image from a set of extension tubes, I now know what it’s like to shoot macro images like a grown-up.
Not that there’s anything wrong with extension tubes or filters. If anything, they will teach you to be truly grateful for your macro!
A fragrant mix of poetry, herbs and roses


Ooh, I was thinking of buying this Canon EF 100 mm Macro lens. Got a good-value Sigma to tide me over…
How big is the flower you’ve done the extreme close-up with (top)? Is it a Solanum?
