I'm not very experienced at Macro photography yet, but I'm very excited about getting some good stuff this spring. I shot these Wednesday right before some beautiful storm clouds rolled in before sunset. I drove around for over an hour trying to find a good landscape view in Fayetteville of the clouds but I had no luck.

Very nice Aaron. The second image shows an amazing range of colors. Any idea what it is?

I too am learning through experience the fun of macro shooting Aaron. You've done a nice job here. The second image is really cool, it almost has a kaleidoscope effect. Nicely done.
Aaron the colors and patterns in the second shot are really cool, it's my favorite of the two.

Both are nice Aaron but the second one looks like photo art to me, very appealling. A kaledoscope of colors! Have fun in the closeup world, it can become addictive.

Hey Aaron, nice shot. How do like the Sigma 150mm macro lense? I have the 180mm version and it is really sharp.

Larry- I don't know what it is but I'll figure it out soon.
Tom, I recently bought the 50mm Canon, 100mm Canon and the 150mm Sigma macro, and the 150mm Sigma is my favorite. According to the slrgear.com lens tests, the Sigma is super sharp. I feel they have a perfect copy and theirs may be a tad sharper. I may just need to shoot with it more and really test it.
