I thought a little soft really, will have to get the tripod out at the w/e I think. Not really keen on using the tripod though, so might keep trying hand holding

Hello I found you from Petes - I like your pictures - I am struggling with Canon Rebel and got the image stabilizer lens - I am not good at macro - I got a monopod thing - haven't tried it yet. Cheers. Your other site is a hoot!!!

Hello ocean thanks for the comments, I will drop by your blog and look at your photos. Macro is more difficult, although very rewarding too. Cant wait for the flutters to be out

What lens are you using for the macro shots? Great shots of ladybird!

Yep, I can see a sophisticated Photography web site coming up where you can buy Nic's photos in prints for your wall or on callendars (did I spell that right?)mugs, mouse mats etc....

Oh I forgot, where on-line can i get a good Hedgehog house from, I have to find one for someone.

muffinman, im using a sigma 150 for the macro, its my new toy :)

OC thanks

Lisa you are too kind, I wish I could think the same..on hog houses depends on how much they want to spend really, they can make their own if they are a wee bit handy with tools. Let me just find you some links..

or if they want to make one

I convert boxes into hog homes, they use them as shelter through the summer, quite easy to do, if they are into hogs they might like to join the hog forum too.
