This is my first post in Digital Grin. And this is also one of my very first macro shots I've taken. I'm very proud of it. I chased him down for a half hour and I went though 2 sets of batteries and many, many, many frames before getting this one. He just wouldn't sit still for me. This was also taken with my very small digital camera and first digital. And that was...ooh in 03? ha ha. I'm slowly trying to improve... I have so much I want to do and achieve in my life...
I just thought it was Appropriate to post my first post of my first ever macro. I think this is what started it all... ha ha!:rofl
