it seems it has a macro mode that it chooses automatically if you have it set on Superior Auto. ??

Oh, and a tripod is a must for macro photography.........When I shoot flowers, for example, I usually do it early in the morning, when the air is still...........

Thank you Band.

I've saved the first one under favourites so I can show Mr when he's home.

I knew they weren't cheap, we did look once in a shop here but I had no real idea what to look for...

Now I do and my camera is a Canon so that makes it easier for me.

Thanks Jake, I perused that sight many times before deciding to buy the lens. I ended up getting the latest model even though he suggested the previous one was the better one. Maybe I should have listened to him.

re iphone photography, I found this http://osxdaily.com/2012/10/07/tips-better-iphone-macro-photos/.

The camera I have is so bad that it says the blurry photo blinked if there's a wind of any kind.  Plus it delays a half second at least when you take the photo. 

Son is correct.   Camera  ________ .

Donnasks, what is the name of your camera, just for interest sake, sons can be quite scathing on what their mothers have. lol.

I have a Sony DSLR and I am going to stand in the corner with Pimpy because I really don't use it to the best of it's abilities either.

Tripod?. what's that? Oh yes, I do have one but always in to much of a hurry to get it out...

I don't have a "Macro" lense...I wish I had more lenses but alas hubby can't think why I want them, I could try and sweet talk my brother and ask could I please borrow one or two of his, just for testing purposes of course

Band, love your tree and nut photo and the other trees.

Pimpy, that collage is absolutely stunning - it would look amazing printed on canvas and framed.
