It's been more than three years since I replaced my kit lens (Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS) due to busted AF function. I rarely use it right now and usually I resort to it when I do macro photography via reverse ring or tube extensions.
I tried to use it as the primary lens for my project this weekend and tried to check and see how it still performs on product photography that I have been doing for several weekends now.
Here are some of my few attempts on some food photography. I didn't know how much fun it is to take photos of food also. I usually take photos of flowers. Now, aside from going crazy over flowers, I have another alternative when I can't go out into the garden and snap on flora.
Still learning more.. through reading.. trial and error.. needing a lot more of practice..
