Got my first macro lens on saturday, so have been out in the garden trying it out. Alot more difficult than I imagined, dof much shorter than I thought it would be, here are my first few atempts.

Tiny snail with one eye poking out.

The snail shots are classics, real character to them

Maybe try a square crop on the one-eyed snail, think it might work better.

Very nice for first attempts, sharp and nicely composed. Keep at it

Snail on the move is a beauty. Level of detail in the spider shot is very imressive.
Nice one.

Aww i found some baby snails in the garden today, but no macro lens!

#2 with the lil guy moving is great!

Guess its shopping time for me
