first time doing macro shots - and i dont even have a macro lens! i held a video camera macro lens in front of my powershot (:confused: ) and went into the garden to try out my new makeshift setup! it was an awkward setup but im pleased with the results considering my situation!
some of them might be a little too central, but i wasnt sure if it matters with macro shots?
very little PP done, resizing and a bit of cropping here and there...
C&C welcome!

Quite good for what sounds like a very awkward setup. Well done!

Now, go try it on some bugs ;)

nice work, #4 is my favorite and I like the bokeh. Sounds like an interesting setup, full marks for creativity! As mentioned above, lets see some bugs!

Very good effort Kadie considering the setup. Good imagination there to make something out of it all. I like the last two shots best of all.
