Thanks Tom and Henry

You're welcome to come to Naples any time Tom -I've got a spare room. Would be cool to take you to Lago d'Averno and shoot some dragons

Here's a challenge for you John, go shoot something that doesn't involve a yellow flower.

I just shot this, I clearly felt that I wasn't in my comfort zone.

Noob and lurker here. Just learning macro with a camera and lens that are new to me. I'm experimenting with many scenarios to learn my equipment and find my fancy.

Here are the follow on images from my original post. I don't know how to upoload more than 3 images per post.

Perfect conditions on that day Peter -no wind, light overcast clouds, etc. All I had to do was not screw it up
