Thanks Carol! Yes it's taken a while but I'm having more success focussing - if the subject keeps still!

Your hand is so steady and the photos are really clear. You are really getting amazing at macro. I have noticed the difference. WOW!

Joseph, I use a Lumix FZ40 camera which doesn't have an interchangeable lens (Its a decent point & shoot not a DSLR) The camera does have a macro setting but I've never been able to get great results from it so I invested in a Raynox macro converter & it seems to do the trick! http://raynox.co.jp/english/dcr/dcr250/indexdcr250eg.htm

May I ask, do you use a macro lense, or just settings? Macro is one of my favorite types of photography. Im eager to learn about it.
KarenL
Thanks Joseph! Macro is so much easier when the subject is a huge as this one!
