pic of my first Bug, this Macro stuff is hard ! struggling to keep everything in focus, I think i shall try to take a few lessons, as I'm loving the macro !! Would love to eventually take some of the macro of spiders eyes, a loooong way off, but onwards and upwards ! I shall endeavour to improve….

Doing good - it is all about practice.

If you haven't already done so, I would suggest you read Brian's "Macro Hints and Tips".

A quick question for you, Brian. I have viewed a lot of your images where the exif is in tact and most show that you use Multi-segment metering, are there occasion when you would use other modes, if so when?

Cheers

Not bad. Welcome to the world of macro.

You'll be addicted soon enough

Nice start

Thank you everyone - I'm loving the macro stuff, and will practice hard to improve. Just now got to find some willing subjects !

Even that (finding/spotting bugs) improves with practice. I see all kinds of tiny critters that people around me won't see, just because my eyes & brain have kind of tuned-in to noticing such things. And my eyes aren't that great anymore.

Nice captures

Good start - look forward to more as you become more addicted.
