Not really a macro but couldn't find the "still life" thread

Thought my camera was broke, nope turns out I'm getting horribly picky about my shots.

I've really been struggling to get back into photography. I think I might have exhausted my love for landscapes so decided to revisit my initial love, macro. Macro requires patience and practise and honestly, its so nice to capture shots that make you go WOW, or "YES I've finally got it". I decieded to get out the house last night and went to savernake forest. Spent about an hour and half wandering around, here are my favs:

First go at doing a macro, and it turned out ok. Using a Raynox 250.

@hux great shot! Camera isn't broken.

The Sony 90mm macro is a great lens, played with one at the camera show a while ago, it's stupidly sharp.
Mate bought one and very jealous, though don't have e mount anymore, so can't worry lol.

Thanks.
I haven't been back to Thursley since the fire, I don't know how much has been burnt, do you?

Basically everywhere around the metal dragonfly (where we saw the dartfords) and north. Lots of land.

Oh dear, that's awful. Perhaps I'll see you in Bushy Park one day. Although it's closed for through traffic I park in the Clapperstile car park on the Teddington side and use the pedestrian gates. They are shut at night at the moment due to vandalism and don't open until 0530-0600.

Yes hopefully. I recently went to Richmond for the little owl.
