I recently tried to sell my 100mm macro on eBay. It didn’t sell. At first I was disappointed because I’m trying to save for the Canon 5D Mark II and plus I didn’t use as often as I thought I would…but I’m actually glad because I really do love taking macro photos. I took some...

She’s been having trouble staying asleep while taking her naps so one day...
