good to see some activity in the photographic department and some good shots, its difficult to go macro with the cameras you are using, but not impossible some advice I was given which has always worked for me

 

get as close as poss

 

shoot on eye level or below the subject, pics taken from above down tend not to work so well

 

try to frame the subject in the viewfinder so you dont crop any part

 

use manual settings, you need a flash and pics at 160 s plus and f 11 to get a good depth of field, usually means pushing up the iso

 

above all else get out there and shoot loads of pics, and stick them up here so we can have a look at them, you should see some of my earlier stuff it really was awful but over time I have learnt what works for me, its great fun and a bit of a buzz when someone likes your pics

 

you need some post production to sharpen the shots

 

keep em coming
