    thanks april. although the second one is playing alot with flash, both were taken with the nikon 50mm f1.8 lens which is not a macro lens and is around $100.

    $100 dollars..not bad.. thats only like one pair of jeans I would have to sacrifice....j/k...before I got into photography all my extra money went to jeans and heels...now I am having to balance the two! I was looking at some lenses today (macro) and they were really expensive like about $600. Is that normal for a macro lens. I already have two lenses that came with my camera 14-42mm and the 40 -150mm.

    you could try some extension tubes first. they are cheap and will fit on your existing lens. the idea of them is that it enables you to focus closer to your subject. it has a similar effect to a proper macro lens for a fraction of the cost. not sure if kenko make an olympus mount, but am sure oly will make their own.

    Nothing especially creative - Just a few shots of various plants and flowers I've come across on my travels. I've got loads of them, and thanks to my new tool (Lightroom), I'm just getting round to editing them all.

    This one's probably my favourite - Something about it just caught my eye.


    Possibly a tad over-saturated? I really need to calibrate my monitors. I can never be sure.


    Everyone should have a shot of a passionflower somewhere in their collection.

    Dying lily

    Just tried a quick flash shot of a dying lily in our lounge. Tried to get a black background using the flash but didn't quite manage it & as the rest of the family wanted to watch TV

    This is an excellent composition!
    (You may want to try fine tweaking it to slightly darken and increase the contrast to really bring the best out.)
    Got any more....?

    Nice picture.
    If you wanted black background you could have done the following:
    - Use a faster shutterspeed
    - Use a higher F-number
    - Use a lower ISO

    In that way, you can make sure that the subject is primarily lit by the flash and that the light of the background is no longer registered. If this doesn't work you may need to raise the distance between the subject and background.
