well..i think you do have some nice shots..outta all the photos that you've taken
but you ought to control your WB better...and try shooting different angle...and maybe..try to avoid high ISO settings...from my experiences...i hink using ISO800 is the highest that i will go...if u have the cash..get yourself an external flash to compensate to low lighting situation...coz i realise there are quite some of your images appears to be rather noisy...

just my two cents

i think the beauty of taking macro shots is that...you don't need to crop it in PS...maybe some touching up to control the color...

plan before you take macro shots...like which part of the object you would like to emphasis...

try avoiding taking directly towards sunlight...it will ruin your camera's semiconductor substrate of the CCD image capturing electronics

you definitely don't need to use flash when there is sunlight, unless your object is backfacing it and you're taking from the front...

wah lau "dim ar" very good poison
10q for sharing

Nice captions. LOL~

well..if you really insist on using flash for macro, i'd suggest you to buy an omnibounce for ur flash...coz at least you'll be able to soften the shadow of your object, try out several angles for ur flash...to get the best results...
i think if you're using an omnibounce, the results are rather obvious whereby the harsh shadows can be eliminated maybe not all..but a large amount of it...

p/s : i'm sorta a arachnophobia...so i have some problems looking straight at your eight-legged friends..

u did great with the pending vehicle..used a tripod?
though it will be better if you can grab the whole of it...i can almost here my uni lecturer saying " nice shot! "

haha i also wish i can go ar, but... to bad no budget:P (all my money goes to my camera liao sad) may i know how much u hv spended over there? maybe next yrs la:P

Wow...#5 panning nice!!!
