@Stuge: nice shot
@ajayashish: are you sure last shot is with 50mm prime, Exif data is showing that you have used EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS, thats strange :lol:

Ah... sorry then i must have deleted the wrong one and upload the other one...
I got 2 lenses the same day... 50mm and 55-250 and was so excited that made a blunder... :(

Friends,

Its rainy season, and lots and lots of bugs in garden, sadly of less variety.
Shooting conditions are also not good, lots of wind and rain and also Eeza (a kumouni word for mother) has different vegetables in garden like Makka (Corns), Bhindi and many more. So not allowed to go into the bushes. Also the mosquitoes are in plenty. So I had to wear an Half pant under the lower. (Can wear outside otherwise resemblence to super hero can be missunderstood).

Posting for C&C. Id of this bee is also needed.

@Toofan : amazing macros as usual :)

I have once question : what setup are you using for macros, is it same like Sujoy (50mm 1.8D, extension tube) or you are using some special macro lens?

And if I buy new 50mm 1.8g (new one with focussing motor) will I be able to use it with extension tube for macros? I am too much inclined towards buying this lens :)

kjuvale: thanks. If you buy the 50mm G lens then you will have to buy automatic extension tubes. And those are available in Ebay only. Smarshoper has listed it but its out of stock mostly.
and those will cost you between Rs 5000 to 6000. Means
10000 (50mm) + 6000 ( Et) = 16000 and at this price you could buy a Tamron 90mm dedicated macro lens.

Local ETs are around Rs 700 but that will not meter with any lens so you have to set the aperture manually using an aperture ring which the G lens lacks.

Gangsta; thanks friend.
