On Sunday, I had some time to myself and took some macro photos in our front yard to start getting a feel for it. It was windy, which made things complicated. Also the light was changing a lot, going from cloudy to sunny...I used my westcott light diffuser to even it up in a lot of cases (one cool thing about macro photography).
I think they turned out well, not very creative, and in some cases not very well executed (the wind was killing me as I tried to stop down for more DOF), but I like at least something about each of them.
I also discovered why good ballheads are important. With the camera lens combo, my ballhead has to get way overtighted to hold it at all. It also sags after a bit, and moves all over the place during tightening. That will have to get swapped out if I want to do more of this.
Anyway, enjoy.
