"My new lens"

I bought a camera lens for my birthday last week. (Yes, I bought something for myself on my birthday don’t sympathies me!!!! haha)

Anyway, it is Cannon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro lens. This lens is a hybrid lens that is designed to take two distinct of subject. So I don’t have to switch my lens whenever I take a really close up shot. So last weekend, I went to my friend’s house to test my new lens. Since he has a lot of pets in his house and office. (Seriously, a lot.) I had fun taking some action pictures and interesting stuff.

He has a big salt water aquarium tank in his office and they look gorgeous. With my new lens I could take a picture without changing my angles to avoid the reflection of the glass. This puffer fish looked at me and was not afraid of me at all. So I had a couple good shots of him. One of benefits of this lens is that it allows me to focus much closer and get a higher magnification ratio ( 1:1 ). This was especially beneficial when I was taking pictures of the

          Next in line were these, much smaller fish. Taking these two pictures were so easy but at the same time hard to focus on the subjects because they were afraid of me and swam away so quickly. Since, you are zoomed up close to the subject, it is hard to follow the subject when it is moving.

And the next pets that my friend showed me were reptiles.

This guy’s name is ‘fat tail’ as you can see he does have a fat tail. The macro lens makes your pictures perfectly clear and focused. You can even see his scales clearly!

Lastly, the waterdragon.

I thought this animal was facinating. Always wanted to have a reptile like this one but as soon as I saw his dinner, I wanted to consider it one more time.

This was a good looking water dragon

This is him during dinner time. Yes, he is eating a mouse. It was very curel but at the same time the picture turned out really nice. Poor little mouse.

After I saw this smile after his bloody meal at the end,

I renamed him “The joker”

“Why so serious?”

 

 

 

 

 

Well, that was my day with my new lens and I really like it. It is easy to carry around and because it is a hybrid lens, I can take regular pictures without any extra moves. A great birthday present for me.
