I had a go with a macro lens for the first time two weeks ago and I can now truly appreciate the hard work these pictures are, especially when shooting them hand held. Mine kept getting in and out of focus as I wobbled trying to get a halfway decent shot ;-)

Beautiful macro shots, Walter.. lovely close up world..

Jim Stone		26-Jan-2009 18:43
Walter - I recently saw a thing on the web that reminded me of an old technique for macro in which you reverse your lens, hold it (the objective end) against the lens opening of your camera body and "focus" by moving in very close to your subject. This of course exposes your camera's inner workings to dust etc. but is an easy very powerful macro on the cheap. Love the images above! Jim
