Macro photos thread--any macro pics

This thread is dedicated to Macrophotography, anyone feel free to post macro pics of anything. I'm not a photogrpher but have been taking more shots since I started my grow journal. I like it and I had to snap some macro shots of this spider the other day, no tri-pod. I just have a K.M. DiMage Z6, that's all I know

OK, I'm in. Excellent idea too caddyluck...

This is not strictly a macro. The shot was taken usinga 75-300mm zoom from about four feet away. It was cropped from a larger image. We're not on our own computer, so don't have access to all our photos unfortunately.

and the eye of a cockatiel...

Macro Photography is the art of capturing photos of small things/objects that end up life size or larger in the resulting image.
Caddylucks images of the Wolf Spider are an example of macro photography.


Micro means really small. The term 'micro photography' is often applied to the images taken through electron microscopes. Images taken at thousands of times life size.

Back to the Billies.

I should said before, excellent spider shots caddyluck. Have you seen these pics in this thread?
Arachnids and Insects, by request.

Hi Gryph! Ok, I've got two shots. We don't have a macro lens, and the camera that I have that does take macro shots has crapped out on me. So, a guy told me that I can flip the Canon lens for mad macro shots. Crazy short depth of field, but it worked. (I am LOUSY at photography, a shameful thing when one knows that my own father was actually able to study directly under Ansel Adams )

Hey Seamaiden! Wow, I'm talking with someone linked to photography Nobility. How cool. They're pretty brilliant for reverse lens macros though. Now I'll have to try with my KM tomorrow.

Thanks for not busting my chops on my counting abilities.
