More Macro Fun

Continued fun with my "new" macro combo - macro converter + a 50mm lens

 A local cat outside the school during photography class. He was sunning himself and was particularly amenible. One of the most photographed cats in town I imagine, the kids use him for assignments.

Macro shot of some ice in the parking lot of the school after it had thawed and re-frozen with neat crystals in it.

A leaf in the snow I found yesterday while supervising kids. I like the curl and the way the light hit it.

Claws of the same cat as top, he was getting playful on the playground. I managed to get a close up with the full macro on it. Great textures of both the paw and the wood. Cool!

 So I finally got my macro converter hooked up with the old Nikon series E 50mm 1.8 lens. I took it to school and took some photos while the photography class was out getting photos for their assignment. Had a blast with some really basic subjects. Above, a pine branch in the school courtyard with some snow on it (very nice) and the end of a small icicle below. I had a student with a dark sweater stand behind it so that I would get the nice contrast. I like this combo!

And one more of the little common redpoll on my window feeder because he's cute. This one was just with the 50mm lens, no macro.
