My first shots with new XSi and EF-100 Macro

[Steve Ruddy]

Please critique. Also at what point do you want to use shutter lock up to prevent blur? Any good macro tutorials?

Lovely series of shots - looks like the new camera is working fine :)

AFAIK MLU is only useful with shutter speeds between about 2 secs and 1/20th sec which are not normally used for macro unless you are using a tripod. I've never used it !

Lots of bits and pieces on my macro shooting here http://www.flickr.com/groups/topic/66514/

very nicely exposed, my only criticism and others will disagree, is that they are framed too tightly at the bottom

I agree. If I were going to print it I would definitly crop it a bit. It was windy that day and trying to keep the image in the frame was a challange!
