Micro Four-Thirds Macro and Semimacro Image Thread
p.1 #1Micro Four-Thirds Macro and Semimacro Image Thread
Thought there might be interest in a macro and semi macro thread
pictures from Micro Four-Thirds lenes
write if it's stacked images
if you write nothing it's single shots
It would be nice if you wrote which lens you used, extension tubes, MC, etc.
Hihi maybe it'll just be Gary and me
but you never know maybe Tony will post some dragonflies or butterflies and frogs too

I have tried to photograph these flowers every year for the last 10 years at least
These flowers grow freely in the wild in my area where I live
maybe a month away.. a little hard to know maybe more as it has been very cold for a long time here in southern Sweden this year

I'll join in too, Ronny! You and Gary have so much great macro/close up material.
Some of these are a little older, and some pretty recent, but all with m4/3's cameras, although on a couple I use older 4/3's macro lenses.
