Title: Sea Shells from Gulf Shores, Alabama
Post by: LakeLady on September 27, 2008, 10:14:39 AM
I have not yet posted in this area (pictures), so I am going to try to do so now.  My husband and I went to Gulf Shores, AL, last week and I picked up sea shells to do some macro work.  It was great fun.  The bright shell was sometimes hard to photograph. 

Looking at these shells, I am just in awe of what God has created.

Oh, those are cool. Got the focus in just the right spot, on both pictures.

What kind of camera do you have?

Thank you for looking and for commenting.  I am shooting with a Canon Rebel XT.  The lens was a 100 mm/2.8.  It is wonderful for macro.

Scotty Boy, it is a great lens.  However, it can drive you crazy trying to focus with it.  I am still learning and will be for awhile.
