tee hee..

I'm very impressed with me macro lens, and I'm finding looking for creepy crawlys with the bairn a load of fun! and who thought taking flower photos could be such a laugh.

Where am I going wrong though? things seem to be coming out very flat :(

is it processing, lighting, my angle, or... ?

My best effort at a bee.. really difficult to photograph as I'm scared of them. look at the camera shake!

I think macro lenses generally have shallow depth of field, if that's what you mean by flat.

Nice pics though.

aye, the DOF is paper thin. I would have thought that would have created some depth, but no.

Cheers, on the nice pics bit marra - but I need to keep practising.

I think this is the most important thing when it comes to macro. it's really easy to think you're doing macro well when you start off because everything looks so new to you. The hardest thing with macro is taking well composed, interesting shots IMO

this! by far and away this. Perhaps that's what is missing, good composition would definetly add depth - i'm focusing too much on getting the thing in focus i think :lol:
