Description

Best of a 300 photo shoot teaching myself to use macro mode on a 55mm lens. The end result was about 15 really good shots, is my favorite of the lot, though I have two others I'm tempted to upload at a later date (One of a moth and one of a cricket).

My biggest complaint is that I had far better poses in other pictures, but this is the closest and clearest I got with the whole shoot and the fact that the surroundings aren't busy like some others just makes it overal the best quality of the lot.

I must mention that though I am very familiar with my new camera (Nikon D40. I used it proffessionally in London) I never got to leave the office with my old one and so never attempted Macro shots. This is the sum of my entire first time with the mode.

I'm curious to tips and advice for future shoots.
