Hey Marnie, Not too bad for a first round of macro shots. My first/early macro shots were pretty poor. The shell has quite nice lighting to allow the color and shiny texture to come through well without blowing things out.
The second shot that I am seeing is not a macro shot, but a well composed (I really like the foreground running diagonally through the frame) silhouette. Both nice offerings. Keep up the good work. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, January 16, 2005, 6:36:43 PM, you wrote: Eac> Well, the wind died down and it FINALLY warmed up (enough) for me to grab Eac> some art paper (for an "infinity screen"), my tripod, and go to the table on the Eac> back porch to try out my Macro lens (SP Tamron 90mm Macro 2.8).
