Lenny's First serious photo shoot

[Leonardo]

To test out the macro setting on my camera.
the macros didnt come out. working on trying to figure out why the camera insists on popping the flash when in macro mode. stupid thing.

Here are a few that came out decently. I didn't have a white background so she is on a Bristol Board pad.

Enjoy

Thanks!

Zac: Its a Canon 10D with a 72mm lens. I've never used anything but a macro lens but I don't have one right now so I decided since the camera had a macro setting I'd try it out. But every time I set it to macro all the settings change to Automatic, I can't focus, change ISO or exposure compensation and the flash automatically pops up.
This was my dad's older camera, I've used it successfully in weddings and portrait sessions but I've never tried macro without a macro lens. I asked him, but he, too, has never used the macro setting only different lenses.
The manual is no help.
If you could help, that would be AWESOME!
