But seriously folks...
Allow me to ask a question this week. I'm having trouble with my macro images when I use my DSLR! Clearly, I'm still very inexperienced but my macros don't feel like true macros to me. I have my 50mm lens and the regular lens and the telephoto lens. I don't want to use the automatic macro mode. Is it possible for me to get a good macro shot? How???

Lori,
Your photos are lovely but I understand your desire to capture a macro. I hope one of your readers can offer some advice. I'm still using my iPhone, a DSLR is still in my future.
Cool macro shots!
I like your photos ;o)
I take my photos in the AV. But taking macro photos are very difficault, that why I will follow a caurse after the summer ...

Well speaking photographer like that sounded like "I made waffles with my shakalaka and topped them with calculus sauce." ....to me ...good Lord I am photogenically challenged!
I can't possibly be of any help!
Happy Sunday Lori - Have a great weekend!
Thank you for choosing my photo for the most clickable from last week!!! Cool. Your pic of the glass ball with bubbles is facinating. I hope you can get answers to your question. I don't have a DSLR camera, so I'm clueless.
I love the bubbles. :) I think you've been taking great macros. I loved the sole last week and your weed shots. I shoot my macros in A/V mode so that I can control the aperture. I usually set the aperture to 4 or 4.5 depending on what I'm shooting. A lower aperture blurs out more of the background. I love to use my macro lens to take pictures of the kiddo. It really makes her face pop out of the pictures.
I think you take fabulous macros, but I understand what you mean. I finally broke down and bought a macro lens. I'm still learning how to use it, so my macros still aren't what I was hoping, but they are closer to what I wanted.
Oh Lori, they are beautiful, I think that's the important thing...and you have brought us close, isn't that the essence of macro photography, to draw us near to things we might otherwise not notice?
Sorry, I have no answer to your question, but I looooooove your pics!
I think your macros are great and I find them fascinating!! It's all about learning and sharing and I love what you see through the lens.
For me, I use the macro setting. I get the best bokeh that way. If I'm not doing it in daylight though, I use manual settings. Most time though, I'm doing it in good light.
I am with Laura- bringing things close to see what we have been missing. When you find out please let us know. AND thank you for the opportunity to go macro!
