Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary in May, 2006 and converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors, often exceeding 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.
Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Weekly Contest, and no winners (or losers) either.
POTD Thread Policies

  • One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day. Diptychs, triptychs, etc. are OK.
  • All photos should be your own work unless special circumstances have been agreed.
  • Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the "+ (Multi-Quote) button. This puts all your comments in one post. Multi-Quoting is required on all of the MacRumors forums.
  • Safe for Work (SFW) only - This is a site-wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.
  • Describe your photo - Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera, ISO, Focal Length, Shutter/Aperture and Lens.
  • Note: Anyone may start the Photo of the Day thread on the first of the month GMT. Please copy a quote of this post to maintain all the formatting.
  • Please don't alter or expand these policies - If you think they need improvement, use a separate thread to discuss.
  • Past POTD threads from August 2013 onwards can be seen here
  • Earlier POTD threads thru July 2013 can be seen here

Thank you!
For that one I used my old Sony A6400 with FE 50mm F2.8 Macro
even if recently I love better my Sony FE 90mm Macro G with the A7IV

Nice. I picked up the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens but haven't given it enough of a workout. Test shots look really good.

Checkout area of an IKEA. ;-)
I felt experimental - this is a stabilized 5 second long exposure shot while following the two people in front of me.
Taken with the Reeheld app.
This app is usually for taking long exposures without a tripod, you just have to stand very still for that.
If you intentionally move while taking the shot it produces these ghostly otherworldly composites.
Probably not something everyone will like.

I have a SIGMA 70mm Macro but I wasn't too happy with it: sometimes was stuck with the autofocus going back and forth and had to remove the battery to get it back to life.... It was a known issue that Sigma tried to fix with a firmware but not too successfully. In manual focus there is no problem. Probably the 105mm doesn't have that issue

No, it's clean. I looked into before buying - it's the only non-Canon lens I own. It was that or the pricier Canon 100mm f/2.8 IS.
