(Apologies for the incomplete posting sent our earlier.)
For your consideration: two images taken with the same 100mm Macro lens, nicely illustrating its versatility by means of presenting a pair of views of radically differing scale . . .
The first composition shows the result of utilizing this lens at enough of a distance to bring forth its strength as a medium length telephoto (roughly 180mm). Photographs shot with such lenses compress the sense of depth, a phenomenon which can be employed to flatten perspective. Thus the case here: an abstract created from a particularly angular façade of the beautiful structure in which I (currently) work.
The second tableau demonstrates a more classic use of this lens, that being extreme closeup photography. Perhaps most commonly trained on nature studies such as flowers and insects, I derive great satisfaction taking this lens to discover abstractions and alternative interpretations by focusing on the small, inanimate details often overlooked in our daily journeys. To wit: a meteor streaking by on a business park sidewalk . . .
