Hello,

I have recently bought a Canon 1300D (entry level dslr). Since, I am fairly new into Photography thing and tried to take Macro shots with my Dslr.

However, after many attempts I took some pics but missing the BOKEH effect in it. Anybody got some ideas???

The 18-55 is certainly no kind of bokeh monster and at 55mm you're looking at a minimum of f5.6. It's also not really a macro lens even if it says so on the tin.

What kind of macro did you shoot? Maybe post an example.
