Happy Hump Day. I have had a Macro lens for a couple of years now. It is a Tamron 90 mm f2.8 1:1. It’s not a great lens but it does the job. I haven’t used it much because I’ve been interested in other types of photography.
Last week I was taking an on-line course on Macro Photography and I was blown away by the creativity of the images allowed through macro photography. Now admittedly Dilbert and his cronies are not the most creative use of macro photography, but since I hadn’t shot with the macro lens for over a year I decided to give it a quick test.
I’m a big fan of the Dilbert World and I happen to think Scott Adams is an absolute genius. True, he paints a pathetic picture of corporate America and I don’t always agree with him, I am still impressed with the freshness of and often dead on accuracy of the scenarios he portrays with his strip.
Because I am a huge fan of Dilbert I have a lot of “Dilbert” stuff in my office at home and these three characters are about 3.5 – 4 inches tall and have been on my desktop for years. So I decided to shoot them last night. While the results are far from what I was looking for I am intrigued with the possibilities that can be created by macro photography. So we shall see…
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Hump Day and be careful.
