Default Edible fungi macro, with kit lens.

Truly good enough to eat.
Hey all, I take it I can post again, because it is a new day here in England since my last pic?
Well here is my attempt at macro with my sony kit lens, really want to get a macro lens in the near future!
Mushroom with kit lens.

Thanks for looking.

Great shot Glyn! I am with you on wanting a macro lens as well, but I am thinking an L series 70-200 first, and then possible a wide angle zoom, both full frame lenses so I can use them when i eventually purchase a 5D MK II. Thanks for sharing my friend.
