As a relief from boredom, I decided to grow venus fly traps from seed, I watched and waited until one of the ten seeds germinated, or is it a weed? this morning I photographed the tiny plant, not ...

I too am a learner at macro, I shot this with my Panna G10 , kit 14 42 lens plus raynox250.

lovely colours.

Thank's for the bundle of info, I bit the bullet and ordered the 60mm, however I am a bit puzzled as to why you say it is not the normal 60 range? I already have a Soligor focussing rail, though ...

At present, I use Raynox and achromats on my M4/3 camera and was considering the 40 mm 2'8 Artisans, I realize the working distance will be small but  I do not see that I need to improve on this ...

You are a very talented snapper, Steve, I notice that you shoot jpeg, any particular reason why? I do too, only because I am too old to change my ways. I used to use an FZ50 with internal zoom, ...

A nice minimalistic shot with a pleasing splash of red,well done'

Shot with Minolta film, slide copied with Panna G2. We oldies have memories.

Shot years ago with a Minolta film camera, this is a huge crop, 0nfortunately I lost the original, please excuse the quality.

Hi Ward, At 94 I am in the same predicament as you, I too was considering updating my  gear until I discovered a video maker extraordinary, I am now enjoying my macro work, look him up on u tube  ...

Each week I look through this subject and find it interesting to see what you all are photographing, Your floral shots take the biscuit this week for sure, an outstanding set, congrats.

Wow, Never seen anything like this before, and the images are sharp, colourful, and picturesque. I would like to see more if you can oblige.

Had his fill of apple. Siblings arguing, just like us mortals. Precarious perch.

Nice one, wing position is perfect, but the shot is is a bit cramped in my opinion.

You could have done the decent thing and obliged him, LOL

For what it's worth here is my comment. First pick a scene with a foreground, middle, and background, then focus 1/3 rd in, NOT 2/3 rds, and forget long shutter shots, make sure your EXIF is on so ...

What are march chops? I use both the LCD and the EVF, but I try to get my subject on a table or at least high enough to be comfortable.

I don't remember, probably the eyes. I think it was shot in A mode with a Panna TZ10.

I don't know what species of Dove you have, but the spotted ones do not make a mess and they don't bother any other birds. They are a delight to watch, shouldering one another away at feeding ...

Going through some old pictures, and surprising myself at what I had forgotten. This Bluebottle was on half an orange.
