Small Talk (Macro thread)

[Apple fanboy]

Taken with my old 70-300mm so not strictly macro, but I licked the little bug crawling on the thistle. I couldn't get any closer, so even if I'd had a macro lens on at the time, it wouldn't have been closer. Also shot on my D7100 so the 270mm was more like 405mm

Just wanted to say thank you to all that have shared thus far. I always enjoy macro/micro/close up photography.

Rather than go down the pretty fuchsia-colour-original track, I thought I'd do a B&W conversion to highlight the texture.

EOSM3 with nifty-fifty @f11 and 23mm extension tube. 2-second exposure with minimal crop to straighten.

It's a pervert bug!

Not a macro in any strict sense - just a play on a dull day.

Nice. Do you see the face in the middle or is it just me?

Now you mention it...too smiley to be immediately recognised by me though.

It's the raised eyebrow that clinched it.

One of the roses that I got my wife for Valentine's day. They are starting to be on their way our, but I thought they still looked good enough for pictures. Taken with my 60mm Nikon macro lens.

Another cone.

Been on a macro shoot all day but I'll not get round to editing any today.

Looking forward to them.

Looking forward to them.

First one is up in this weeks competition. I'll have some others later.

I pulled out my macro lens for some small pinecones I found this weekend.
