p.1 #1 · New here, so please be gentle!

Hi all,
I'm new here, as well as new to macro.
I have a D80 with:
a Nikkor 18-55 1:3.5-5.6
a Sigma 28-70 1:2.8-4
a Nikkor 55-200 1:4-5.6 VR
a Sigma 70-300 1:-5.6 Macro

My macro gear only consists of a set of screw on lenses and a cheap ring light. I also just bought a set of extension tubes that should arrive here any day.

I don't have an upload account, so here is a link to what I think is one of my best so far. Please be gentle but honest.

Thanks!

And for those who REALLY want to tear me a new one, here's my macro gallery on flickr!

Welcome to the forum and a lovely first shot here

You've posted a bit large for some users- try to keep the long side down to 800-1000 pixels.

Forget the equipment, a lovely first effort.

Hello and welcome. Good first post but, as Brian alluded to, it's easier to look if the shot is 800-1000 pixels on a side.

Thanks for the replies.
That image IS only 1000x669. I don't know why it coming up so huge!
