Yo, I think these are pretty excellent for starters.

Somethings to work on for future shots would be
1. sharpness.
most of the photos seem a little soft. I'm guessing that you had it set to auto focus? try shooting in manual.
As you are not using a tripod, practice how to shoot with less shake. Try holding your breath before you press the shutter button.
2. dof
Only a small portion of the photo seems to be in focus. Try shooting at a smaller aperature setting in the future. I personally like something between F11-F18

Try working on this two points first. Cheers! :D

Thanks bro Francis for commenting.. =)

glad that you drop by.. actually we are working with limitation as we shot all these with Beercan and Sony 16-105 with 2 pieces of Acromat +5 CU Filter.. so the sweetspot (learn it today!) was only a small area.. =p

Hope I can get a proper macro lens later on in the future! ;)


hahaha.. I am afraid of insects...... hehehe.. just can't imaging when they crawl onto me.. but I like to shoot them.. contradicting? :P
