Back in the day's, when is was a rich boy 😋, I also owned a 100mm F2,8 macro lens from the L series of Canon! Why? I didn't know! Maybe because I was trying to figure out the whole concept of photography and I wanted to try everything!
I didn't use it that often but there was a day that I wasn't a rich boy any more and I had to sell it! To bad if I think of it now! I grow so much in photography the last years that I now know how to use one! The only thing I did whit that lens was running after bugs and sitting on my knees next to flowers!
When I look to the pictures I took now, not that they are really bad, but I can do so much better now! Focus is almost every time on the wrong place! Dept of field is so small because I almost always used an F2,8 aperture!
But than I saw these pictures of a faded dandelion! Those pictures are nice to show here!
Is that the corect word, faded dandelion? In the Netherlands we call them paardenbloemen! (horse flowers) That is because horses love to eat them!
