Hi there. This is my first post and I'm still learning, so I'm a little nervous! This is a shot I took with my Nikon D70 and the kit lens. I should get my Nikkor 60mm Micro next week and then the fun can really begin! I hope I can get anywhere near as good as some of the people on this forum :D

    Hi Brett wave.gif

    That's a great shot, really loving the soft green bokeh. Delicious! (just wish the bee's head was more in focuse - it must have been digging a little too deep into the flower)

    Nice Capture Brett. Great first post. As It said would be better with the head in focus.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Thanks John - you'd be more than welcome! Just to rub it in, this is my son on a typical weekend! The only problem is trying to decide what kind of rum to have!! :D

    Holy macro! Nice first post! Good job with the kit lens. These are tough shots to make. Looking forward to some shots with your new macro lens. thumb.gif
