Thanks Michelle:) Glad you like them...The 1st pic i used a preset focus of 3 meters, so it turned out pretty good. The second pic suffers from the limited auto focus of my camera(i hate auto)but i have to use it because im so close:( ...im saving up for the Sony DSC-f717...Carl Zeiss lens, manual focus ring,(2cm macro shots at widest angle)Niteshot mode,30 second shutter, which will be exellent for my IR photos and lowlight stuff, so hopefully my pics will get sharper with all the manual settings ill have:)See ya around...happy lensing.
