Is it Halloween or My New Lens?

by 36 Comments

The other day, KitKt asked me why I was taking so many pictures of disgusting things. My answer was “It’s my new macro lens! It’s so cool to see things up close!”

Her response back, “Why would you want to see these things up close??”

Maybe it’s the season. It IS the week of all things creepy, isn’t it?

In case there was any question, these next little buggers are sugar ants on a piece of shredded mozzarella cheese. And to think that I used to squish them with my bare hands like they were nothing…..

  4. Those are awesome. Except the ants. Something about ants up close gives me the hee-bee jee-bees…so I think I’ll still squish them!

    Yep–I know exactly what you mean! The close ups of the ants gave me more detail than I wanted to know. I will never squish an ant the same again.

  5. Your new lens rocks and so do these photos! So I’ve gotta know…where do you find the best deals on lenses because I’ve been looking around and I’m getting nowhere. I’m looking for a good macro lens or a fixed lens.
    Happy WW! Thanks for stopping by and linking up. Have a great day Lolli. :)

    I get my lenses either on Amazon or eBay. Every one of them. I’ve had pretty good luck, too!

  6. Wow! That thing is awesome. I’ve never really even considered getting one, but it is very cool!

    You should!! It’s been very fun. Making me totally branch out and try new things. Although what’s the difference, really, between my kids and these pests eating my food?

  15. Wow! that must be one powerful lens! your photos are so clear & beautiful, I want to hide my pitiful little point & shoot camera and bury my head in the sand… as long as there is no sugar ants near by! Gulp!

    Ahh, thanks! Please don’t bury your head in the sand, though. Sand is a pain to get out of hair…

    I hope you’re going on a macro lens hunt, and not a hunt for ants (although that would be a pretty short hunt around here. The ants seem to be coming out with the slightly cooler weather).

    Well, thank you! I consider that a great compliment. I mean, don’t they say that anyone can make a pretty subject look good, but not everyone can make an ugly subject shine? ;)

  21. Wow, you are getting some good shots! Those ants are pretty cool :)

    Thanks! With my kids in school all day, I’ve got to look for SOMETHING interesting to photograph. Why not ants? ;)
