Recent Macros
Hi all, here are some of my recent macros. Not had alot of time for photography recently due to one thing or another, however i have managed to find a gallery that is putting my work on display and for sale so fingers crossed it will sell. I have also been approached by a Media Agent who has contacts with the natural history musems and reckons she can help get my work out there. Meeting tomorrow so fingers crossed.

All pics are clickable for larger sizes. The butterfly shots were taken at stratford butterfly farm.

Re: Recent Macros
Love the colouring you've introduced to a few of these Allie. Number 8 in particular.
Really special work.

Allie that's brilliant news and so deserved. If at all possible, the newer stuff is even better than usual. I think it's because with the coloured backgrounds you've introduced a more graphical (and dare I say commercial) element to the photos, while still having the amazing details and composition.
If they don't sell I'd be astounded. Here's hoping this is just the beginning of something special for you.
