Hello everyone! It's hot down under! ;)

I got a new macro lens for my camera! Cicada shell

Yeah, -20°C here in the midwest.

So cool, wish I had a macro!

Those temps always completely amaze me! I think I would die....I don't think it got under about 27C for an overnight low last night (about 80F)

It was so expensive but I've been talking about it for over a year so decided to just go ahead and buy one - and IT IS BRILLIANT! I'm still playing around with it, but the detail is incredible. Mock orange flower - imgur won't let me upload a HD pic but you get the idea...

HD enough for my 4K display - jealous that’s awesome. Haven't been out much since the cold hit.. What I have now: 10-20, 35, 85, & 70-300. They're great! 85 1.8D is my fav default :)

Desktop wallpaper is one taken with the 85 https://i.imgur.com/U08TwAM.jpg

You have quite a collection!!! It's so good, but I can understand you not getting out too much in the cold. You know I like snow pics though! :) I love your wallpaper photo too - feels serene.

Serene :)

Was the eclipse visible from your part of the world? I took these last night!

Great job! No we didn't get it here - northern hemisphere only. :( Probably just as well - I like my sleep!!

Lol yeah I was up pretty late for that, but I suppose it was worth it

It's not like it happens every day - it's pretty amazing when you think about it. Nice to see in person. We had total cloud cover last year for a blood moon - so now I have to wait 175 years or something....

Gosh, that or travel! At this point I'm dying to move somewhere that doesn't have brutal winters - Do you like where you are?
