Hi everyone. Just had a quick second session with my new Macro lens. I was so disappointed as my first shots were not at all like even the worst ones I have seen some of you guys post. Then I realised I am going to have to exit my comfort zone and go manual, cos all the shots in auto (etc) were disappointing. Having never even turned the dial to manual before, I messed around a bit. I think I am getting better. Here is my progression. Any comments/help appreciated. Thanks. PAUL

Could this be learning??? Can't wait to tell the kids Old Dad can handle more than just a hammer and nails!
