Went out shooting on a sunny day out here, uploading some of what I believe to be my better shots. C&C is welcome.

Also, it appears that in my various forays into photographing I tend to lean towards macro shooting. I've been doing some research and my studies have led me to consider the Sigma 150mm 2.8 macro, does anyone here have hands-on experience with that lens, and can possibly tell me if it compares with the Canon macros?

Always fun to find a random chimney in the field. However It just doesn't feel right.

I have a bunch of shots of this chimney at different angles. Maybe this was a bad choice?

I'd love to see a few more if you're willing.

I'm finding it hard to give an accurate wordage for what is nagging at me about that one.

Here are a few others. They are unprocessed besides some curves and resizing.

I like this much more than the first. I popped both into photoshop to mess with them a little myself, and a slight change of brightness and contrast seemed to work nicely. That being said, yeah that photo is unprocessed too I understand.

I see what you mean. I'll have to work with this one a little more. Thanks for the input!

Sorry I couldn't be any more descriptive. :[

I just play it often by heart.
Best of luck with your lens hunt
