Macro fun

From Photo of the day 2012

 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.
