First full week back at work in the New Year today. The Monday of Mondays! All good so far though.

I've been experimenting with close-up (macro) shots using my new cam and have posted a small selection over in the Gallery. I'm thinking I need a prime lens though and learn to use the tripod as they're a bit blurry. Still, not a bad effort for a newbie (I hope).

You have some very good images in your macro gallery, I noticed a bit of blur though, and as you say, a tripod would be useful, however you could also boost the ISO to gain a faster shutter speed, as it seems you have shot them all at 100

Hello Tricia :) 
 
Boosting the ISO enabling a faster shutter is the kind of invaluable knowledge I wish I knew, great tip! I had read ISO 100 was useful when taking the Duck images and having stuck with AV mode the camera hasn't adjusted it. I will try boosting the ISO in future for hand-held shots. 
 
I've also recently purchased a cable release and have been making good use of the tripod, so future shots should be a little less blurry hehe. I've just finished uploading my new project (Mannequin) to the frontpage using them.
