Okay! This evening I was finally able to test out the lens I got for my birthday from a friend. It’s a Nikkor 40mm AF-S Micro 1:2.8G. I love taking Micro\/Macro photos, but haven’t done so in years. I have to admit that I got spoiled with my Canon PowerShot Pro1 when it came to macro shooting. It was so easy; just put it on the Macro setting and shoot. Well, there was a little more to it than that, but it felt that easy. Not a huge learning curve to that one, but it took such great macro shots! So, now I have this lens and it has a bit of a learning curve, but isn’t that part of the fun of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t think of anything that would be interesting enough to shoot and then I remembered I have some crystals that might be cool, so I hauled those out. I took quite a few photos, some good, some not so good, and some just plain awful. The “some good” came after trial and error with the “some awful”, but that’s why it’s called learning. So, now I’m excited to keep with this learning to see what I can do with this lens beyond crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
