#49 First attempt

Hi, I got a macro lens yesterday (rented for the week-end) and tried some shots.
It doesn't have an image stabilizer, and the guy at the store told me that I had to use a tripod.
I didn't know this, and didn't brought it with me, but I was so anxious to try it... well this is one of the shots:
- I can call it "Closed-up"

What do you think?

I think it's a good idea, but I wish there was just a bit more in focus, not the whole thing though, just a little more.

Yes it is
I know what you mean, but I find it VERY difficult to focus with this lens... almost impossible
- I'll try to use a tripod to see what I can get. If not, I'll just use the zoom on my regular lens

#5 makes me wonder what it is, maybe the inside of a flower? or is it some sort of alien eye

Ha, ha,... my husband couldn't recognize the zipper, until I told him
- are you sure you recognized it in the first place without the title?
#5 is....
- Can you keep a secret? It's the bottom of an onion

Of the zipper shots, I favor #2. I think b/w works very well for this image. However, I'm not convinced of your DOF. Did you use a tripod for this one? Did you use a remote or a timer to eliminate any shake? Part of me thinks it is a bit soft?
#4 is grapefruit, right? I can't tell for certain at work, but is the image a bit underexposed?
#5 is my favorite of the group.

I used 6 photos with different focusing and of course some PS filters:
I guess I can find a bigger onion to morrow - I don't know what happened with the one I used previously
- I may have cut it for lunch...

I think they are both great but I like the deeper color in the second one best.
