After getting my Sigma 105mm (yay Rich, yer a star) I got a chance to get out and about with it last weekend. My first impressions of trying macro stuff is that it is incredibly frustrating lol, but also a right good challenge and pretty damn satisfying when things (almost) work out. Here are a hand ful of my better shots from the weekend.

I think I need to try and practice on slightly bigger beasties before trying the right wee teeny ones as I was having a lot of trouble getting my focus just right.

I should probably add that I have a bit of fear of creepy crawlies but managed a lot better than I usually would have because I was in among them for taking piccies.. so helping me getting over my fear is a big bonus. I've no idea what any of the beasties are called but if anyone could help with I.D.'s that would be grand. :)

#4 for me. I see you and that new lens are going to get on really well.
 
I want me lens back Tommy :D ;) Great set and I am sure with even more shots you will improve even more (y)
 
Great start - I agree number four is the bee's ... erm no the fly's knees :)
 
Lovely shots to say they are your first with a macro lens.

A macro is next on my list of lenses and this is making me want one even more :p

#1 and #4 :) Love the colours in the first
 
Yep, 4 is the winner.
The biggest problem with a macro lens is the DOF.
