p.1 #1 · Water drops for Greg, Gary and Anyone Interested
You gentlemen have me wanting to pull the gear out and do this again. I am without my macro lens at the moment . Should have my new lens Wednesday and will do some. In the meanwhile, here are a few from the last time I did these.
Lots of fun and frustration , but I love doing them.
If anyone is interested in the how I do this, just let me know. More than happy to share.

These are great! Love the colors! Whimsical in a way. What would be a good macro lens for a beginner? and How did you capture these?
Thank you very much. I don't think there are any bad macro lens. Hard to give a recommendation. Not knowing what you shoot and what lens you might already have. As to my how to, if you will PM me your email address, I will send you the information I have put together on how I do these.

You have had a Sony 90 macro before
are you going to upgrade to the new Sony 100 GM macro?
Always looking forward to your pictures that you post
everything is good here but now I am looking forward to spring and the coming macro season
Ronny
Thanks Ronny. I , too, can't wait for the bugs to come out . Your macros are my high bar , so keep them coming. I sold my 90mm back in November and ordered the new 100mm. I did not get one in the first release , just got it 2 days ago. Going to try some macro shots hopefully today.
