Bought a macro lens for my 7D a few months ago and finally got around to actually using it a few days ago. Here´s a few of my first tries at macro photography (yeah, obligatory newbie flower shots :v: ):

This is absolutely gorgeous — I'm particularly digging the depth of field. What was the aperture at?

Thank you, I was pretty happy myself with this shot, required no cropping and very little work in post (mostly just some sharpening). It was shot at f/11.

What lighting did you use for these?

I used a single 580EX II with a dome diffuser, for the leaf shot I held it directly behind the leaf. For all the shots I held the flash with my hand while shooting with a tripod, I absolutely love the wireless flash capability of the 7D.

I haven't got any lighting stuff yet, but how does the wireless flash work on the 7d? Does the onboard flash just trigger the remote flash like a slave?

Yes, the onboard flash is used to trigger the remote flash. You have the option of setting up several groups if you have more than one flash and can adjust the ratio between them. Also pleasantly surprised at what angles the remote triggering works.

Good to see a macro thread here, saw some good shots. I'll join in the fun... here's a random selection of recently taken pictures:

I really like the second and third shot. What gear do you have for getting larger than 1:1 magnification ?
