These are some assorted shots of my first attemps at "macro" photgraphy. They were taken with a Tamron 70-300 set to macro. Can't wait to get a real macro lens.

    Not bad with that lens - I tried using a sigma 70-300mm for a little while for macro and know how hard it is to find the bug let alone get it in focus.

    The pictures were sharp before I transfered them to Photobucket in order to post them. I'm going to try another storage area to see if this fixes the problem.
