pfranklin 0 Posted May 24, 2009 This is a shoot with a new 100-300 5.6 (old one of canon’s L series) lens. It is a hard lens to work with as it is a push/pull without a lock. I purchased this lens used for $69 US dollars and figured that the macro alone might be worth it. I haven’t had much time to work with it but did get some amazing sharp shots on these flowers. I haven’t found the sweet spot yet but find it shoots well at almost all settings. This lily is at max focal 300, 15 seconds and f22 shot next to a well lit window so it is natural light. I would appreciate all comments and do have many other images at other settings I could share if you would like to see them. Thanks for your time! Link to comment
ifti 1 Posted May 24, 2009 Love the color and textural details. BG is very enhancing. Well done. Link to comment
drorbaldinger 0 Posted May 25, 2009 damn it's good. keep the lens! great color and details. Link to comment
sumon_mukherjee 0 Posted May 25, 2009 It's really a good composition with beautiful colours and details. The long exposure and f 22 were proved to be very effective for this shot. Your new lens is working nicely but the lens has not created this beautiful composition. Best regards. Link to comment
sonneland 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Pamela a very striking image this one. i would love to see what else you have with this lens,come to think about it i enjoy your work with what ever lens your using. stay well.....roger Link to comment
pfranklin 0 Posted May 25, 2009 David, your words are appreciated! Iftikhar, Thank you for your kind words and visit! Kathy, your comment means much to me! Dror my friend, I am happy that you liked the flower, thank you for the visit and I think I will keep this lens. Sumon my friend, LOL…..I appreciate the comment! The lens can only help me I do know that, it is always a pleasure to hear from you! Roger my friend, I am always happy to have you visit…..Thank you for the very kind comment. This lens is super sharp (on a tripod) at every setting I used from f5.6 to f32 and every focal range as well depending on what you want softened or sharper. I was amazed! It is old (excellent condition) and hard to work with, sounds funny and jumps a bit but still great bang for the buck! Warm regards, Pamela Link to comment

JimCowan 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Getting an image like this from a new lens (bargain at that) would be very satisfying. This is a beautiful image. Link to comment
jtipton 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Hi Pamela- Good to see your at it. Man, an L lense for $69. Old or not, a steal. I'd keep it around if you are getting these marvelous results. Great detail and very well composed. Keep in touch and best wishes-Jim Link to comment

pfranklin 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks to all of you who took the time to look and comment on my lily. I appreciate all your words, your time and advice! Just an FYI....this is not a crop, it was taken in macro mode as it is with the 100-300 lens. Thank you my friends, Pamela Link to comment

Funtak 0 Posted June 2, 2009 I prefer Canon 1:2.8 100mm macro, I think it is a bit to pale in some areas.. Link to comment
