    Ok, this is more of a test thread to see if I can load up from flickr. I have a new one of a Beetle & ran my Bumble Bee one through photoshop to see if it made the image better. So, what do you think? Cheers...

    In order to use the tags, you need to have the path to an actual image file. For example,http://www.internet.bo/picture.jpg

    By the way, you obviously don't have a macro lens, so perhaps you should avoid the macro type shots for a while.

    Never get used to the smart arse sniping though.

    Trojan, most of the great flower/insect etc. shots, that you see here, are taken with a macro lens. If you try to replicate that with a non-macro lens, you could find yourself being frustrated with the results.

    This is the closest thing I could get to a macro shot, without using a macro lens.
    I did use a tripod & an artificial light source, with a long exposure though.

    Cheers, that does explain a few things. I didn't realise I needed a macro lens, I thought I the macro function on the camera was just that. More internet reading me thinks.... I think I'll post again when I feel I've learnt a lot more.

    I like the shots for what they are but a bit of work might help them out .. they lack impact. The colours make them look a bit dated, maybe a bit of photoshop (pull back the magenta) can add something to them?

    Edit: Hope you dont mid but I had a play with them?
