More macro-mania

A couple of pictures with my new macro (and 1 digi).

My new toy, continued

I was so happy, the camera works!!  Apparently the failing seal on the back of the camera isn't totally shot.
I've only scanned one of the pictures.  It is of a bud (blossom?) on one of our hazelnut trees.


When I first joined the 100 Snapshots community and saw one of the words was poetry, I was furious with myself.  Just a week before I had painted over the top rail of my back yard fence.  Before I painted it over (because some of the rails had to be replace and the ones which fell off were put in the wrong place) I had painted two of my favorite poems on them.  I just found a picture of what it looked like before I painted it.  I am going to redo the poems when it gets warmer and drier, but wanted to post a picture of what it looked like before.



I'm still way behind, and plan to catch up with my friends page later today or tomorrow.

My new toy

I finally received the new macro lens for my 35mm camera!  Since my main Canon AE-1 has the 300mm and 2X multiplier attached to it, and is on the tripod, I stuck it on to my Canon AE-1 Program which we aren't positive works.  There is a question about the seal on the back of this camera.  Anyway, I ran outside and finished up a roll started on Easter, by taking photos of blossoms on four of the trees in our front yard.  I'm not going to load another roll into the AE-1 P until I know if it works.  Now all I have to do is wait until it's developed!  Hopefully the shots will be good and I'll have something to share soon!
