space marine - macro

space marine - macro, originally uploaded by dakegra.

Ok, ok, it's not really a 'macro', per se. 50mm lens atop tripod, as close as I could get it and still focus.

I spotted this little guy atop some shelving and really liked the lighting.

This was the first of the Games Workshop Space Marines miniatures I ever painted, probably 20 years ago. He's lasted pretty well!

It isn't a macro because it doesn't say "OH HAI, I HAZ A GUN" or something daft like that.

I was looking at macro lenses last night. The 105mm f2.8 micro Nikko VR is so bloody tempting in every way except the price.

OK so I bought it for work, but well......
