I gotted me a new lens
Found a Sigma DG EX 105mm Macro for a bargain. This lens is for taking close up pictures - real close like...
Here's an example of a pic I took of the lion on a R50 note. The image is completely untouched (not cropped either), except to re-size it.

Oh ja - it's a bit blurry on the right hand side because the note wasn't completely flat

Re: I gotted me a new lens
Andre', you shouldn't post stuff like this ..... you're making me sick with envy! Enjoy the lens .... lots you can do with a decent close-up.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: I gotted me a new lens
That's exactly what I got it for - goggas... Only problem is the little buggers never sit still (That's nothing that 5 minutes in the fridge won't cure though )

Spray the goggas with "freeze it" (liquid nitrogen), just dont drop them, they'l break in a hundred pieces.
