Hi, I just wrote a long bit about my expriences with long range macros but must have uploaded wrong, I lost it all! Anyway, I bought a 70-300mm lense for my D70, and have forgotten to take the 18-70mm with me on a few occasions. The shot above is taken at 300mm, the exif data should still be there. Never as good as a true macro but a good stand-in. Probabaly wuold be better with a tripod as well. Joe has done a good job of explaining it anyway. :)
