yes I plan to take LOADS of pics...I found myself using MF pretty much whole time wich is something new for me...I am not a big fan of bugs except the neat ones...that one goofy one that I got he was getting mad at me...after a while it turned around and looked like it was gonna kick my ass...I left

Good first shots, using natural light with macro is hard work. I like the Butterflies and the green fly.
