Something different BF!

Cool shot AntZ ... we have of those tiny guys in our Cicads out front.

Nice shot Scotty.

Close up to a Kookaburra feather ... a bit of mirror or tripod shake there I think but it is cropped waaaay in.



Some more shots of this feather here http://www.photography.ca/Forums/f20...ther-6810.html

when I got home today I had two nice surprises: Marko's picture and a gift from Casil- a screw on macro filter thingys. This is my test shot with the +2:

The close up filter really works well!

more really cool shots! You've got me thinking now MA, as I have a wide selection of feathers that I use to tie flys with for fishing.

I've REALLY been struggling with my photography lately. I went to The Camera Store when I was in Calgary at the beginning of the month, and picked up the accessory kit for my LensBaby - hoping to expand my use of it. (awesome store, BTW) I shot a whole bunch indoors with the macro and tele bits, but was not getting it right.
I carried the camera all month, and have gone in the field two days to try to wrap my head around the block. Finally something clicked yesterday, so I feel a bit better.
Here's one of the LensBaby shots, I tried for lemonade on this one:
