I am a beginner... could I ask what kind of macro lense you use? Macrophoto has info. on using the reverse lense method, is this what you use? Or do you have a nice big expensive lens

I'm just using a Nikon Coolpix 995 digital camera with the stock lens (8-32mm, but I don't know how that would translate to an optical lens). I've done some pretty cool stuff with this camera and a Kodak that I gave to my Father-in-law.
Of the two, the autofocus on the Kodak was much better with macro subjects. With the Nikon, I tend to put it manual focus mode and move it in and out until everything is crisp. It works, but I have to be at a set distance from teh subject...
Two things that help with the macro mode on digital cameras: lots of light and a tripod. If you have enough light, you can take hand-held photos, but in low light situations, a tripod is a must.

thats a damn nice piece. everyone does water drops, but at least you've evolved that and made it different cos of the oranges. you should get more recognition

This is great--I've been working on something a bit like this as well----can't seem to get the reflections just right though----back to work I go!

It was very difficult for me to get the parts I wanted in focus. I think the effort paid off.
Thanks for the comment!

That is outstanding!
I think you just raised the stakes.
I'm consigning my lame idea to the round file and thinking again.
