    Very nice! I just bought myself a cheap macro lens, it opens up a whole world.

      90% “that’s amazing, I had no idea it looked so cool” and 10% “what is this ungodly abomination, let me unsee this” in my experience :)

        Very true! Some of the things that I thought would look great don’t turn out great, and the reverse as well. I snagged a fairly decent picture of a bee on a purple crocus yesterday, and you can easily see the pollen all over it!

            Just posted it! I’m still learning this type of photography, everything goes out of focus at the slightest touch! I may need to start using a tripod or something.
