I do not normally shoot photos of birds. For some reason, when I point a camera at them they flee in abject terror. But this little guy let me get close so here is probably my only 'bird' photo of the year.
@Bill16,Well bags are nice and all. I have a Lowepro backpack, but the cpl filter will do far more for your photography. If I might suggest, next time look into their MCR versions. They are suppose to be better still.
My first Rose this season
And one just opening
"I am a kind word uttered and repeated
By the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the
Blue tent upon the green carpet" from the Song of the Flower by Kahlil Gibran
Have some landscapes in mind and a fall shoot that has been in the back of my mind for several years and, of course, always more flowers. Have got to catch up with @wthorson.
My Sigma 28-90 is not strictly a macro lens but has a macro setting at 90mm. I think it does a credible job although it would not be much use in low light. This flower is about the size of an American Quarter
and this one about the size of a dime.
