Thanks. Quite similar photos to what I wanna ultimately do with my kit, although I need to buy a decent macro lense first I think.
Maybe you want to consider getting some extension tubes before you shell out money for a Macro lens ? as you can get good results for less cash.
Having said that I absolutely love my Macro lens. I just have to save up for a good Macro Flash.
Though I have a telephoto I'm not too impressed with it to be honest though ive only had it a month maybe it will grow on me ?
Macro's where its at for me. The subjects speak for themselves.
I've got a telephoto lens (sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG macro) but I haven't had chance to really test the macro out yet on it so don't know what/if I need to buy anything else just yet. Tonight I shelled out nearly £100 on a tripod so this new hobby of mine is getting as expensive as my PC one

At least your Having fun !
Test your Macro out on creepie crawlies that you find around your house.
I just got this moth in my Hallway and then tinkered away with it in Lightroom.
White Moth by RedDanDoc, on Flickr
Canon 550d with 60mm f/2.8 Macro usm and a pair of very steady Hands.
Nice shots RedDanDoc, the red and black moth is a Six spot Burnet moth and the white one is a Swallowtail Moth.

^Nothing in that photo is really in focus properly, so there's nothing to draw the eye's attention.

Any better?

Not really tbh. There isn't a focal point to the subject or the photo. It isn't saying anything to me other than a fairly bland circuit board.
