These are a couple of my attempts at macro.
They were taken on a canon 350D with a Cosina 100mm macro lens with matched 1:1 magnifier (that came with the lens) screwed to the end. Lit with a torch.
They have come out how I was trying to get them, detail in the metal.
I've run them through photoshop which I have only just got so lack knowledge in. I've sharpened them, upped the contrast and messed around with the curve (I think).
I'd like some crit on how they could be improved, if they're of any interest at all and if the post processing may be too much... from anyone who has an opinion.
