Want to get into macro photography?

UK Guardian's Camera Club tips for macro photography. http://bit.ly/4nrYrT

I will probably move this to the links thread eventually, but I wanted to flag it up first.

Is it just me or does the person holding the camera at the top of the article look like John Barrowman? :lol:

Anyway, nice article.

Interesting about the tripod stuff. I've always done macro stuff hand-held.

I'll have to experiment a bit with that

With all this talk of macro photography, I'd thought I'd upload some of the stuff I've taken. It's here.

I read an article recently on how Live View can help you achieve better/sharper focus in macro pics. It was in Practical Photography I believe. Very useful tips to be honest.

I think that was for Canons because of a digital zoom on live view iirc, although I probably didn't.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

No thats about right. You can zoom in on the live view image and make sure the focus is spot on - in a nutshell.
