I have been contemplating starting a thread for Macro photography.

There are a few posters who I am aware of who would participate. if there are enough takers I'll give it a go

It wont be like pimpies thread, no challange, just a place to show off your achievements and an exchange of tips and ideas.

Here is one as a starter

I haven't actually used the macro setting before on my camera so this is a first. It actually wouldn't focus as close as I would've liked and this pic has been heavily cropped.

nice cosmo:)

What is your camera?

[cosmosgrove]

It's a Canon 60D, I don't own a macro lens, this was just with the 18-55mm. This is the original shot

In about a fortnight I will post some comparison pics using alternative methods for getting macro shots without an actual dedicated macro lens ( they can be pricey)

I am in the experimental stage at the moment so it is work in progress 🙂

I'll describe the method that was used to get the shot

Just to be a downer here. Are you superstitious? 

Because peacock feathers are supposed to be very bad luck

to have in  the house.  Its supposed to be an evil eye

I love 'em.  But I wouldn't have one in the house

Just putting it out there   : \
