"In your face!" - Macro Photography

"In your face!", a photo by Mervin Chiang on Flickr.

I borrowed Chi's EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens (non-L) to test out if I know how to handle a proper macro lens.

This is the result of my first field test. Taken handheld. That's probably why it's a bit blur still. Can't wait for mine to come! I ordered the "L" version with IS. And some Kenko extension tubes and the teleplus teleconvertor too!

OK, enough of the tech speak... Check out the eyes on the spider... *shudder*

Btw, to give you some perspective on size, this spider is equivalent to half a grain of rice in real life! That's how small it was... :P
