    Must admit I normally prefer bug macros to flowers, but there is something about this pic that really makes it work. Well done!

    It's one of my favorite forms of photography esp nature!
    Trying to work a deal on a 250D Canon close-up lens attachment which should yield some interesting shots!thumb.gif

    That flower was only as big as your index fingernail!

    Here is a shot I did in my 35mm days of a Tree Frog as big as your pinky nail!
    Done with my Canon A1 and a Hoya close-up filter.
    (Excuse the "Rainbow" effect I scanned this photo from my album)

    I love the colors. If this is your first macro DSLR, then I can't wait to see more.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Hi there again.......... I have a Canon 250D which I use with my Sony cameras, but prefer to use Extention Tubes with my Canon gear.
    The 250D is a beautiful piece of Glass, nicely made, and in a better quality than the cheaper Hoya's which I also own and find come in handy too.

    Those little tree frogs are so cute, you rarely ever see frogs around where I am, before this area was built up, my cats used to bring them home all the time during the cooler months, but now most of the blocks have houses on them.

    Thanks for sharing your images.........happy Macro Shooting :D

    I landed a 250D Like new for $55!
    Also landed a 28-90mm USM from the same guy $35!!
    (Says the 28-90 has some very faint rubs on glass from trying to clean dust off and it won't affect my images)

    Check out my post "I'm back in my element after 20yrs!"
    I couldn't be happier.....just gonna love this DSLR!!iloveyou.gif
