A couple more of my makeshift macros with dew on the dahlias in the Halifax Public Gardens.

Very nice. I like the bright refection in the second one.

[Hillbillygirl]

Both beautiful captures Iggy, but really like that second one. Especially when you take into account, your technique.

[Barefoot]

I've tried this, too. Not very good at it myself. I admire your patience and the finished product. To me, the multitude of drops in the first shot just barely works a little better that the single drop in the second although the flair in that big 'ol one is just way cool.

[Iguanasan]

Thank you, Jason, HBG and Barefoot.

Have you gotten that reversing ring yet?

Nice captures Iggy, Love the sparkles in the 2nd one.

I've never tried the reversing ring, but I love my Kenko extension rings. They are cheap and keep all the inside bits inside and outside bits outside :) And you can generally still have auto focus. You can go even cheaper, but you loose auto focus, and aperture too, but I guess you don't have that with reversing rings. The other advantage with a extension ring set is stacking to get a range of magnifications.

Cool. Love the star reflec tion on the droplets; great stuff, Iggy.

what's left to say- beautiful shots :)

I bought one for my kit lens but I find that I never think to put the thing on. I generally don't plan macro shots, it's just stuff that I stumble across that a regular lens wouldn't be right for.

Thanks, AntZ. I might pick something like that up. Never seems to be enough time to go shopping :)

#2 is your best marco so far(IMO).

[Iguanasan]

Thanks, Lungelarry.
