First Macro ..Maybe

[lee3]

I am not sure if this is close enough to call macro.

It depends on the size of the object ... if the flowers were about 1 cm in size ... you are getting close.

Normally macro is considered a 1:1 or greater ratio.

What lens are you using ?

I am using my kit 18-55mm for my Sony a380. I want to learn what im doing before investing in Canon or Nikon.

Fine maybe not strictly macro, but I always think close-up is a sub set of macro. Nice shot.

get a set of extension tubes....Promaster makes a set that sells for around $100 I think. Its a way to start in macro without investing in a more expensive lens.
