some macros with sigma 105mm

Recently I purchased a Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro lens. I wanted to buy this lens for a long. This is a beautiful lens with an excellent sharpness and great Depth of Field (DoF). Sharing first few shots I took with this lens.

After rains, this spider net was loaded with tiny water drops, as if this rich spider is netting pearls.

After saving themselves from rains, these pigeons were cleaning themselves and were getting ready for the new flight.

Last weekend I tested my Sigma 70-300 APO DG  Macro in my terrace. Took some flower closeups and macros handheld. Sharing them with you here.

Sun. . .

Someone threw ping-pong ball on the terrace during snacks break. The rain has just stopped and in the water i could see the reflection of the ball. The colors were so fresh and vibrant that the ball looked like a small sun to me.
