Pointy reds and creamy pinks

[Teewinot]

I was worried you'd miss my edit......but your explanation was more detailed here than in the macro section...thanks! You got me thinking about macro add-ons for my point and shoot...eBay has some available...but do I really want to dip into my dSLR savings to buy an accessory for my p&s???? Thanks again for taking the time to explain your creation.

What kind of accessories? I have to say that your macros are fabulous already, but there are probably some things -- like off camera lighting -- that you could use with your DSLR when you unwrap it.

It is scary to think about you unleashed on a DSLR, but I suspect you'll probably keep shooting macros with the Olympus -- it is certainly easier than what I went through and your results speak for themselves.

ohmigoodness unwrapping my dSLR??? What a pleasant image...hopefully soon, hopefully soon...

Thank you for the compliments on my macro shots, but I still feel like I have a less than adequate system (at least that's what I tell myself, convincing me that I need to upgrade to dSLR ). See this new thread I just started regarding the accessories I'm speaking of.

This is very inspiring. Thanks!

Don't do it tee....gotta get that DSLR. There is a site with a Rebel XTi body only for 249.99. Thats a deal and a half if you can find a lens or have someone you know that would be kind enough to let you borrow a lens that they hardly use. I find lenses are like jeans once you find a good comfortable pair you hardly ever go back to the others.

ELAY- what type of flower is that? i would love to see the whole thing

Purple coneflower (echinacea purpurea), dime a dozen around here in July.

Here's a quick shot from the other day (scheduled for deletion):

okay now I recognize it.....nice perspective! Never would have guessed...or at least would have took me a while.
