any tips..i cant do this dont matter how much i try..there crap every time i take em..was that with flash..?how far was backgrownd away fomr flower..

Now come on Lance. This is really going too far. Not only is the flower in the water droplet sharp but you've nailed the aphid as well. Spill the beans and put Macro Junkie out of his misery and me out of mine. How's it done?

its not..its that perfect he made it all up on photo shop. just kiding .. i love the colour

Wow that actually looks terrible after it ras reduced for size. thats 1 thing i cant do at all is make it under 100kb without it looking like the cat chewed it.

Macro junky

Flash-yes
ISO-100
Shutter-1/200
anywhere from 1x-3x mag for me
and the flower depends how big it is but from about 1cm-4cm behind the drop i guess. smaller drops seam to work better for me AFTER I FIND THEM IN THE VIEW FINDER

Cheers again

(another 1 with ISO100 this time)

how are u resizing your pics?

just host from photobucket, and then it doesn't have to be below 100kb.

First shot looks great, btw.

use flick..its better.. and it has option so u can make your pics copy right for free..

photobucket u rekon ill look into that.

cheers ronald

anf flicker ahha wich one is better?

don't know anything about flicker or the other one. just wanted to say nice shot. like mj and eccles i can't get that either

Bill

I've always used photobucket with no problems, but have no flickr experience. One or the other...whichever. If he says it's better he's apparently used both.

Cheers bill. i will admit i dont think mine are that great tho and even getting ones like this take a long time:p

cheers for the comment
