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.
Thanks
Birdie

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?

I don't want to know how you do it, likely take the fun out of it for me
I just like that you do it and I get to appreciate it 
These have always fascinated me Birdie, so very nice that you will share your knowledge with others to give it their best!

Beyond me how you manage these shots, but they are strikingly beautiful. True creativity on display with these images.

Birdie,
You always come up with some stunning photos. When you get your new lens, show
how it is down.

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.

No, not the new lens, it was the 90mm Sony. I just got the new one and will try it out soon. Hope all is well with you and yours.

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.
