Family time all weekend. Took the opportunity Saturday to give my son on some hands-on photographic pointers around the house.

Also gave me the chance to try out the 180mm macro (which I still haven't given a good workout and stays at home all the time ). Nice difference between using this lens (over my preferred 300mm with tubes) is that the closer focusing distance allowed me to push the lens barrel through the obstructions rather than trying to find an existing hole to shoot through. The other noticeable difference is that since the focusing ring rotates more at close distances (i.e. more precise) on the 180mm, I couldn't track and follow the flying stuff as easily.

These are all my shots (don't know if my son will allow me to post his ) with the 180mm lens.
