Rusty macro shots...

[NovJoe]

Finally, found some time today to go out for a short macro session with Benjamin (Peterpan) as it has been quite a while since I last joined an outing with the kakis at Mandai.

Hopefully, these sub-par rusty shots still can make it :sweatsm:.

Canon 7D | EF 100mm f/2.8 macro non-L | Raynox 250DCR | Speedlite 580 EX-II | Onboard Flash
ISO 250 ~ 400 | 1/50 | f/20 ~ 22 | Daylight W/B | Handheld | MF + M mode

Thanks bro! I had the same thoughts when I was looking at #2 but too lazy to redo liao .

I also dunno what #4 is but saw a few of them around the same bush area. Looks like a kind of moth to me .

Thanks alot Actururss! Yes, flashes were used for these shots, both onboard flash and speedlite 580 EX-II with DIY diffusers.

Hi Joe,
Nice to see you online. With your standard, you will get rid of the rust and back to your usual good shots in no time.
