# Icicles, testing out the new lens As you may have read on my Market Friday post yesterday I got a new lens this week and got to try it out today. Now I am not totally happy with the shots I got with it today, and debated with myself about sharing them, but in the end I know some are expecting to see some shots with it so here goes. ![1 Icicles and testing out the new lens-5.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmc4yPRYF3Xz2qx73bCH5e4fpfsn5A7fy2S8b7Pk4LQjqL) ^{**Sony A7iii 90mm F10 1/100 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmc4yPRYF3Xz2qx73bCH5e4fpfsn5A7fy2S8b7Pk4LQjqL)**}
This is perhaps my favorite shot of the group with the blue sky in the background, there is actually some trees in the background but with the tight focus on this lens with these settings and the icicle being so close to me they are mostly blurred out, and I almost but not quite caught the drop falling Now I was going to stay in this position and try to catch a drop falling but, when icicles are dripping down on the ground, and the ground is pretty cool, the drops when they land on the ground turn to ice pretty quickly, which I discovered when I moved my foot a little and it slid across the ice, not bad and I didn't fall, but I thought it made good sense to try from another angle ![1 Icicles and testing out the new lens.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmRpAvv5AgQgybSE4QaE4xz9KPofyR3bCAj7G7RWNM9uuT) ^{**Sony A7iii 90mm F4,5 1/1000 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger]((https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmRpAvv5AgQgybSE4QaE4xz9KPofyR3bCAj7G7RWNM9uuT)**}
In this position the background was a house, and it still was a bit slippery underfoot but I tried a few more shots with different settings, in the hope to get shots I liked and catch a drop as it was falling, which I missed again in this shot, I was using continuos shooting, but the drop fell right out of shot by the next shot. ![1 Icicles and testing out the new lens-2.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmTtQLQfLTBX4o2uXTzFy27xPP7boiStK5b732sppseSbo) ^{**Sony A7iii 90mm F4.5 1/100 Sec ISO 1000**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmTtQLQfLTBX4o2uXTzFy27xPP7boiStK5b732sppseSbo)**}
Again I missed the drop but I like how with this shot and edit the icicle kind sof looks like molten silver to me ![1 Icicles and testing out the new lens-4.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qma9288wSyvP2LzsnbcbKwPqAnyqdTNcMagSzHrmd2CAze) ^{**Sony A7iii 90mm F10 1/100 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger]()**}
Another similar shot ![1 Icicles and testing out the new lens-3.jpg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmVvpVC9h69WnYrzewdaFyoDWNtPQvmbZnpHZGP7zJgh9w) ^{**Sony A7iii 90mm F4.5 1/1250 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmVvpVC9h69WnYrzewdaFyoDWNtPQvmbZnpHZGP7zJgh9w)**}
And finally, I did get a shot where I got the falling drop in the photo all be it out of focus, These are all actually off the gutter of our condo, I did walk around our complex a little and get some more shots but those will be for another post, Even though I am not totally happy with these shots I am happy with this lens and did walk around the complex getting some more shots and playing with it, I do love the lens and will be sharing more macro shots in future posts now and again *** ## unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
