   Sadly nothing for the insectophobes among us
   It’d be a little much too ask for a version without any bugs, spiders and such stuff, so I’d dare to watch these?

   Just got into macro myself and love my bellows

    very nice set of pictures ! Little remark though: when you speak about macro, you are talking about 1:1 magnification at least, all lesser magnifications are actually just close-ups

    I think that this one could also fit the galery: http://www.pictureplease.nl/?p=110 (last shot)

      Here is an example of a macro I created some time ago with a 30 yr old SLR lens that I reversed and attached to my camcorder.

    With little time to paint (mostly not enough time to clean up after painting:)) I love going super abstract with macro.
