Those grandkid pics go straight to the heart 

[rocknrumble]

I like photographing wildlife and sports...

 

 

 

 

But I'm also trying to diversify with landscapes, still life, etc...

Photographing grandkids is every grandparent's joy.But not necessarily the "little munchkins" idea of joy.

You are so right! Hard to get a group photo with all four in favour!!

[PrettyCranium]

Birds, wildlife, and lately, macro!

[rocknrumble]

Yeah just got my Sigma F2.8 150mm Macro lens today and can't wait to take it out for a test run this weekend! What Macro do you use?

[Ignacior]

I like shooting wildlife and my dog mostly.

[rocknrumble]

Yeah my pets get a fair amount of exposure... My cat Fred probably gets the brunt of it.

Just posted some images on the gallery taken in London. They sort of highlight the type of pictures I like taking.

What kind of bird is that, rocknrumble?

I have the Nikkor 105mm macro and am loving it.

[rocknrumble]

Eastern Long Billed Corella (a type of Cockatoo). Very smart birds and like to play a lot. His name is Ollie.

[PrettyCranium]

All your pets are adorable!

[rocknrumble]

Thanks PrettyCranium I think so too!

[scoobymax]

I love your pets Rocknrumble! Great shots to.

How fun to see the variety of what draws our photographic eyes! 

 

I'm coveting all your macros, by the way. It may be the next lens I buy.

 

As for what I like to photograph...almost everything. Though I am narrowing it down--lately I've been discovering what I don't like to photograph. I was asked to photograph a corporate event. Did it. Discovered that I don't know if I want to do that again. Cars and newborns don't particularly interest me either. 

 

I love rural and rustic scenes, especially of the American West--love farmers and ranchers.

 

I love taking photos of the night sky, especially with the Milky Way.

 

I adore taking pictures of people I love, especially my four-year-old.

I like the most to take a pictures of mountain landscapes. Also I like landscape beaches, and only last timeI liked to take a pictures of people.

[rocknrumble]

I am really enjoying my Macro at the moment...

[PrettyCranium]

Great macro shots, especially the bee!

[nbanjogal]

rocknrumble, did I see that you reviewed the Tamron 180mm macro? And you also have the Sigma 150mm macro? 

 

Which do you prefer? I can't believe the sharpness you got in the shots above with that Sigma! I thought I was in the market for the Tamron, but now that I see these...I need to do more research.

 

Seriously though. Which do you like best? And have you had a chance to try out the Nikkor 105mm? (I should probably go check out dxomark.com instead of pestering you!)

[nbanjogal]

Oh, duh. That wasn't you on the Tamron review, rocknrumble--it was K-9. So off to DxOMark I go!

 

Still, I'm amazed at the quality of the images you got with the Sigma. Nice job.
