I will be practicing with different materials and a variety of lights over the coming weeks, so I'll update the thread as I have something new to share.

And here I thought you were downstairs doing laundry the whole time!

ok...so i got my macro lens a couple of weeks ago...i ended up going with the canon 100mm f/2.8...i haven't really been able to test this out yet..iv'e done alot of reading and a little practicing around the house...i gotta say...it's alot harder than i thought...i think i'm gonna enjoy doing this once i get the hang of it...i'm gonna end up getting a bracket and a chord for my flash...anybody know of a good bracket?
here are a few test shots i was able to get during the past few days...these were all handheld...it's so hard to keep my hands from shaking...any tips & tricks would be appreciated....
for the grass shots...i took a spray bottle of water and sprayed an area of grass then got on the ground to shoot...

It is a 04 Trek 5500. Which is shortly going to become my beater bike.

I am buying a new Seven Aerios.
I was going to go to the bike shop today, but I left work early feeling like shit and didn't think that would be the best way to get better.
