Can I ask what kind of lens you use? I love your photos!
im glad you love my photos!!!
i use a tamron 90mm lens... many experienced photographers have seen me using it and described it as 'reliable'. i cant promise you that its the BEST macro lens among the different options... but i watched a couple of videos about the different macro lenses and their pros and cons... settling with the tamron 90mm because it had the most bang for its buck... and so far... ive been loving it
another lens that has been highly recommended among photographers is the laowa 90mm... this one is loved for its ability to give a 2x zoom on bugs... giving even more magnification. i plan on purchasing one to try out once ive saved enough...
my trusty tamron suffices in most cases... but i found a desire to obtain crisper photos of those really tiny (<1cm) subjects (like rice weevils!!!) so i attach on a raynox magnification lens and it lets me get a lot more detail...
im not sponsored by any companies but hey tamron if youre reading this i dont mind...
Scientists use macro lenses to capture tiny organisms like salps (above)—gelatinous invertebrates that vary from the size of a thumbnail to a hundred feet long. Salps can link up in luminescent chains, using electrical signals to synchronize their movements.
