Macro Photography

I've finally graduated from beginner to amateur photographer. This morning I received a macro lens (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM) along with a remote control (Canon Wireless Remote Control RC1). I also ordered the lens hood and UV protection filter which Amazon lists as "Frequently Bought Together".

With the remote control, tripod and macro lens, I'm able to reveal polyp detail of Montipora undata "Idaho Grape".


Now I've got to work on getting a more consistent representation of color when snapping pics, focusing, artistically balancing images and avoiding diffraction interference from the aquarium acrylic walls.
