It looks like you are getting good with your camera, you can come and show me any time. I am trying to learn mine too and not getting as good at it as you have yet, but still working at it.
Keep up the good work.
thanks! a tripod and having the remote has really helped me a lot, i can higher the F. stop to get a better depth of field to show things more in focus now and that plays a huge part in macro photography... well at least making it look good lol
