![[With Sample Photos] Enjoying Light and Bokeh: Canon EOS R6 + EF100mm F2.8 Macro (with Mount Adapter)](http://five-star-camera.com/cdn/shop/articles/0E8A6308_ebf63c8d-3649-4d0b-b352-7711d25ec136.jpg?v=1792903939&width=433)
Hello everyone.
This time, we introduce the appeal of pairing the Canon EOS R6 with the EF100mm F2.8 Macro.
The EOS R6 is an RF-mount camera, but with the EF-EOS R mount adapter you can also enjoy a wealth of EF lenses. From among them, we paired it with the EF100mm F2.8 Macro, which is appealing for its fine detail and soft bokeh.
It is a perfect combination not only for nature such as flowers, leaves and water droplets, but also for taking a careful look at familiar things like food, small objects and accessories.
While capturing even the finest details, softly blurring the background lets you turn ordinary things into striking photos.
This time, centered on sample photos taken in the forest, let's look at the rendering unique to this combination, which lets you enjoy familiar scenery from a new perspective.
1. Pine Cones and Soft Light
A shot of three pine cones lined up on a wooden bench.
The pine cone in front is in sharp focus, and the softening blur toward the back gives the photo a natural sense of depth.
Light bleeds broadly in the background, making this a shot where you can also enjoy the gentle, memorable bokeh typical of a macro lens.
2. Leaf Veins and Water Droplets
A shot of a green leaf taken from very close.
Even the fine leaf veins are crisp, and the roundness and transparency of the water droplets are well expressed.
Light and shadow mingle on the surface of the leaf, reminding us that even a single leaf we normally see without a thought has such a rich expression.
3. Light Streaming into the Forest
A shot capturing sunlight streaming through the trees in the forest.
Light coming through from beyond the slender trees stretches out like beams, giving the shot a striking backlit atmosphere.
Even with the somewhat narrow 100mm angle of view, by framing the direction of the light and the overlapping trees, the photo conveys the depth and atmosphere of the forest.
4. A Droplet Remaining at the Tip of an Autumn Leaf
A shot capturing a large water droplet remaining at the tip of a leaf turned red.
By focusing precisely on the droplet, its transparency and roundness stand out impressively.
Blurring the surroundings heavily lets only the reddish-brown leaf and the droplet stand out quietly, making this a shot typical of a macro lens.
5. The Bear Bell in the Forest
A shot of a bear bell of the kind you see on mountain trails.
The dark brown wooden post and the golden bell are crisp, and the blurred background naturally sets off the subject.
Even ordinary things you come across on a mountain hike, once framed like this, become striking subjects that convey the atmosphere of the place.
6. A Moment with a White Flower
A shot focused on a white flower blooming in the center of the frame.
The five petals, and even the faint purple at their tips, are delicately rendered.
By softly blurring the surrounding buds and flowers, the flower in the center seems to float gently, giving the shot a tender atmosphere.
