I became passionate with photography when I got my first macro lens.  So it is only logical that I get back into it.  Make it fun again.  I see these water drop photos and love them.  So the other day, I tried it.  Not the best, a bit out of focus, but for my first time, I had fun...

Kerry, you are going to love the 7D.  I do.  It is quite a bit smaller then what I came from, and I was afraid that I was making a step down, but I am happy I did.  I was using a Nikon D2Xs.  I like having a smaller camera, however I got the 24-70 2.8 L USM, and that thing is a tank!  SWEET lens, but HEAVY!  With that lens on the 7D, it is as heavy as the D2Xs with a lens.

I am not familiar with Nikon I am a Canon girl for life LOL , I have a 20D now and I have a macro lens also its a sigma 105mm 2.8, tamron 17-50mm 2.8, sigma 70-200mm 2.8, I think I will buy a canon 85mm 1.8 next. So I just can't wait to get the 7D those water drop pictures look nice !

Kerry, those macro shots were taken with my Canon 100mm macro 2.8  I got it like 10 years ago when I was a Canon girl.  Working at the newspaper switched me over to Nikon.  They handed me a whole set up.  But now I own the 7D, 24-70 f/2.8 L USM, 70-200 f/4 L IS USM, and for a flash I went with the 580 EX II.  That flash is serious!  I am looking for a wide angle right now.  I shoot weddings and my sports with it.  Cant wait for that one!!!!

Kristen, those water drops are fantastic. If anyone has not clicked the photos to see the enlargement I highly recommend trying it - the details are worth the short time it takes to view the full size.
