Okay...that yellow flower that you just posted....GORGEOUS!!!!! I gotta say, you´re beating yourself up quite a bit aren´t ya? These aren´t bad, yet you make it sound like a disaster. Just a few questions:

• Did you activate the super-macro mode in the menu? It doesn´t work for the modes mind you.
• With that activated you can get as close as 1 inch away from your object.

If you have trouble focusing, like you said on that last flower, then i suggest you lock your focus on something that´s easier to focus on. Move in on that flower till you reach that focal lenght and then snap.

"I tried a very small object (about 1 cm) and still couldn't get that right." ....i don´t see what you mean? Why would it be easier photographing a small object? I would think it´s the other way around. :mellow:

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?
