Got a new toy! Bring on macro shots
 

I've been eyeing this thing up for a while....I was going to go for the 2.8L but couldn't justify spending 300 to 400 more just for IS since they are about the same optically. It's so nice to finally being able to get some extreme close up shots

LOL, I thought you were getting married and she was the toy! Was hoping for macro shots.

Won't be posting those lol ;)

Hows this for DOF!

I want that field of view! Epically narrow!

Looks a lot better than my shitty attachment for my 50mm.

My cheapest lens takes my best "macro" shots:
Attachment 190017
Attachment 190018
Nikon AF-S 18-55mm Kit lens

This is my best lens for shallow DOF:
Attachment 190019
Sigma 50mm F/1.4

Your shots, however, are mucho impressive.

I am jealous, you have more coins than me. (I think everyone does) Unless you have less than 12. lol.

One at a time, generally.

I don't know anything about photography. What makes this a bad or a good macro shot?

What kind of picture can you get when you shoot a dime?

Probably something like this.
