Macro shot

Since there's no dedicated macro thread I thought I'd post up a B&W conversion of one of my recent shots:

Thanks Chris, my lighting rig consists of a £10 LED lamp from B&Q, I'm very ghetto in my approach. I had seen the macro thread but it's a sub-set of wildlife which is a bit too exclusive IMHO, I specialise in abstract shots.

Nice rig. I'm just beginning to play around with macro myself and it's very much on a budget.

At the moment the "rig" (for want of a better phrase!) consists of a reversing ring, and old M42 mount 50mm f/2.8 and a desk lamp!

My faves so far are:

Very crisp - I like it too

I agree with Carl i am not so much into bugs and beasties, while i admire the skill in the shot its not for me, i also prefer the more abstract (with the occasional flower of corse).

So here are three i did earlier in true blue peter fashion.

Hi Kas, nice to see like minded folk and 3 great images, I especially love #3 as water drops are my "thing". Nice to see some well composed abstracts, I like images that make me think!

Hay Carl, If water drops are your thing have you checked out Martin Waugh's stuff.
