Thanks guys :ty:

A couple of sparrows

As everyone else said great pictures the detail is amazing, now if only I could get insects to sit still long enough to get as much detail and depth of field where it counts :clap:

Thanks Paul (y)

I agree some lovely shots, i was going to say number 2 and 4 for the soft OOF but I looked again and there all good, which 100mm do you have, i have the 90mm tamron and often wonder did i make a mistake as the Tamron 90mm and the sigma 100mm, and the Tokina where all around the same price (not...

Hi all a couple from a quick session with 90mm tamron, raynox 250 a stinging nettle and a family of aphid i think ? not sure if there the same species or what, also it was a shame i couldn't get all 3 in focus before the brown one moved and then this chap on its own

hi thanks chrisA yeah I had about 5cm distance at closest focus

lol yeah know what you mean had a couple of close calls my self :LOL:

great shots second to last is my favorite very clean and crisp. AL

I really like the images you have clean and uncluttered, and has been said before great colours.

Hi all following on from the macro id thread for the Cladonia lichen that I found I went a bit mad and put a raynox and extension tubes on my macro to see how close I could get and with some focus stacking I came up with this, image is about 14mm tall. AL

Yeah I looked at Pixie cups, I'm not sure now though think you might be right, anyone know for sure ?

Hi Yeah they are a lichen, I think the fairy cups are a fungi, well thats what i get when i googled it
