Hello Team-bhpians,

Posting couple of shots taken from my window today. The thing is, I'm normally a landscapes person. These kind of shots are new to me. I'm requesting honest feedback from you folks.

Thanks! I think we cannot focus on infinity with Raynox so a moon shot would not be possible.. I have only used MF till now.. I think it works when I mount it on the kit lens.

Doesn't it look somewhat like an aerial view of buildings

Clever. Congrats on your Raynox, good to see lots of Macros. House fly was superb. Keep going buddy.

Neither could I resist the Squirrel shot. Nikon Coolpix P510's awesome 42X Optical Zoom makes these pictures easy without scaring these timid creatures.

Just look in youtube.You can find loads of DIY setup for macros.Especially lightings.I had setup a Macro studio at home with all hardboads and white papers,LED lights,flurescent lamps etc. As you know,I am just a beginner,and yet to get proper results.

I m still new to photography took the first two pics through a window mesh. All were shot in RAW format and post processed (for the first time) in Rawtherapee and heavily resized after that.
(Not very comfortable with post processing)

Congratulations C300

. It'll be good to see you document her growing up. It'll be a nice project and will give you so many memories. Just ensure you do not use flash till she grows up a bit (4-5 months). There's no scientific explanation/facts of any damage that might happen, but why take a chance?
