I want to dive in Can you guys suggest me some good books or share some starting tips?

About my gear I have Oly SLR with 50/f2 macro

Any of the books by John Shaw.

Or just read the posts here in this forum... excellent macro photogs in this forum

Regards...

Chad

Best thing to do is just get out there and take photos and post some on forums like this.
As commented above John Shaw has done some useful reading and a new one by
Bryan Peterson of understanding exposure fame is supposed to be good.

Some slightly random tips and other stuff on how I do my shots here-

I second this forum -lots of folks willing to help out.

I have a blog where I write about macro ( No Cropping Zone ) and a tutorial section at Deviant Art.

I thought John Shaw's "Closeups in Nature" was OK, but a little bit dated. Macro has changed quite a bit since the book was written -many of us don't even own a tripod because the critters that we shoot won't sit still long enough to set one up...

Thanks Guys will start posting images soon
