You're right about the longer focal lengths giving you more room to work with your subject (lighting etc)- but using a relatively short macro lens will give you a larger depth of field and thus less need for focus stacking.

You're welcome.

I thought macro lenses tended to be much higher focal length than 30mm. Does longer focal length just mean you don't need to be as close to the subject?

What MisterMikkel said, basically!
If you can do without extra lights etc. and just want to "get close" this will do the job (plus you'd have a very nice prime lens with quite a useful focal length).

I like those A1400 shots, been meaning to pick up a similar Nikon for a while now

Since I got my EOS-1 I've fallen in love with the camera. I've been keeping my eyes open for a cheap full frame EOS camera body for a while now and I managed to find an old EOS-1DS for a reasonable price.

I really love the softness of the images it produces, the pictures have a certain dreamy look to them that makes the shots from my Olymus OM-D E-M5 seem sort of harsh.

Lately I've mostly been taking pictures of bikes, I'm pretty sure these were taken with a Soligor 100 mm f/3.5 from the '90's.

Women's Tour of Scotland yesterday, the stage was cancelled shortly aftet due to the biblical weather!

Low tide at Kew Bridge

Is that exceptionally low? I don't think I've ever seen it like this, but I'm not down there very often.

That's a branch of the Thames that goes around Brentford Ait. It was quite a low tide, but that branch was the lowest of the two.

I think every now and then let this stretch of the river go very low for some reason. Maybe to check the river bed debris?

But yeah, since I've been living in Brentford that was the lowest I've seen. Not that I check it everyday though

Thanks, yes, the branch is probably a remnant of the 'old' non-hydrologically-engineered Thames and therefore shallower.

Ah that's interesting. Never looked into the story of the Thames, as it is now, came to be

That’s a pretty unique shop front... like the old lettering that’s sort of still hanging on.
