A few close up shots.

Well Melbourne's weather is pretty grey today, so i thought i might give Berts idea a go http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=55721&postcount=10

I had an old hand me down pair of binno's that i took apart and used one of the lenses.

I just used some rough and ready elec tape to hold it in place:P

The results turned out o.k. and i am pleased with a couple of them:)

Unfortunately there was no insects to be found, so it's flowers and some more.

Well done Trevor....I like the flowers

Thanks for the nice comments, i didn't think i would have got the level of detail that Bert got in his "fly" shot, that's just awsome, but i am happy with the results of these for a first time.

Thanks for the tip Bert, works well.;)

Houghy, the mushroom/toadstool was shot with the same settings as the flowers, except for Av value

Those shots are terrific Trevor !!!!!

Of course I only took one picture and then showed it.No many failures and insects just don't stand still.This is what it is all about,the fun of the attempt.Next time use superglue,thats how I kept the fly still.Just joking!

Great pics By the way.

i really like them!!!

i have never really been into photography per say, but i am really enjoying thinking about a scene and trying to capture it. I like the raw colour mod for the toucam at the moment and can't wait to try and get mars coming over a mountain or through a tree on the horizon etc.

i can see why you guys love this sort of stuff!!
