Hi folks! :)

Just found SmugMug and Digital Grin. I'm in total awe by all the fantastic pictures here. I'm a beginner and only have a compact digital camera. (Olympus C55Z) Still it's great fun taking pictures! Took my first macro about a month ago and hope to learn something from you guys. Below is a macro i shot this weekend. Think maybe the background is a bit distracting.

    Boy did you pick the right joint we got some good/great macro shooters. Me not being one of them :cry
    However I can tell you that your 1st post is right on the mark, you got the now mandatory butt shot, a dgrin :D specialty!!
    Your DOF (depth of field) is real good, and I do not find BG distracting.

    Good Job thumb.gif

    Yes, i have noticed :) I was a bit worried about posting the above one since there are so many excellent here. Well, one can only improve (I hope)

    Here is another one i have taken. Not a good one, but it looks like they are up to something :)
