Here it is…my first macro shot with the new camera and the new EF 100mm f/4L macro lens. Want to know why I’m so excited? Because I shot this indoors at night with no flash and just an overhead light for illumination. And look at those colors! Okay, must get back to practicing!

Excellent photo, first time or not with your new camera. And no flash, how’d you do that!
