Annie Tao getting a new lens = a kid in a candy shop… a bee in a field of flowers… a shoppoholic in NYC…
So, as any addict would have it, I couldn’t help myself. I HAD to keep shooting… shooting different things to further investigate the abilities of the Nikon 60mm 2.8 macro lens.
What if I got closer to the subject? How does it render skin tones? How fast is it in low light? How does it handle moving subjects?
So here are a few more shots from early this evening, around 5:30pm as the sun was setting and all three monkeys were awake!
People Close-Ups
So now that my monkeys were awake, they were my test victims {insert scary laugh here}!
Skin Tones
The 60mm macro lens was awesome with skin tones.
This photo below was straight-out-of-the-camera!
Double-Duty
Can a macro lens double-up as a portrait lens? Heck ya!
And check out how razor sharp this lens is! I am seriously impressed.
(Note: I focused on Melia’s left eye. This image is straight-out-of-the-camera. No tweaks whatsoever!)
My Afternoon Drink
I was sitting with the kids at the table and decided to raise my camera over my glass of OJ and take a few shots. I didn’t even look through the viewfinder. This is what I got.
Not bad, right?
Bubbly Goodness
This time I focused on the bubbles.
Who knew there were micro bubbles in my OJ? Well, people with a macro lens, that’s who! 😉
My takeaway: this lens will be fab for food photography, too!
Just For Fun
I caught Ava blowing a spit bubble. Tee hee.
