Whisky, I fear, would make me hACK!
But, my throat feels fine anyway. :D

Thankfully there are few shARKs inhabiting our sewage system, though I think it was only last week that Chance the Snapper was captured in Chicago ...

Nice GESture but he's just a little guy, nothing like the 12 ft gator that attacked a woman in Davie, FL.

I've never SEEn gator in Chicago before. Our middle son lives there.
I'm not a fan of them.
Sorry, Jo... I'm on to the macro now.
I use my 100mm 2.8 IS L and love it for macros. I stick on two tubes and it works great.
It's actually my "go to" lens for almost everything. I love it for portraits.

Eric has a Canon EF 100mm mACRo lens, the older model w/o the image stabilizer. I tried it a few times, found it to be a little heavy and w/o the IS you almost need a tripod for close-ups. But, he wants me use it for awhile (he has 5 other lenses) and see if I like it before I go buying one. Do you use a tripod?

Yes, aging does tend to interfere.. for me it's vision. I have to wear reading glasses now when I go in search of or focus in on something which makes the whole process a lot more work. ThESE days it's a struggle to take good photos.

I've been using manual focus b/c auto doesn't work that well on close-ups w/my current lens. It's a sure SIGn I need a better macro lens.

The world will heal itself. I just want to improve my the quality of my macros and if a better lens will help (DREad the thought) so be it.
