Of course. First time out, and ends up soaking in a glass of wine!

It's a very nice shot, but not sure if I would consider macro. I don't shoot macro, but my understanding isn't macro consider close up? This just look like a normal distance.

You are right - this probably is the wrong section. I did use my macro lens, and tried some closer shots, but if the strict definition of macro is 1:1, then this is just close work.

Great project for rainy day. I like the results, would be fun to experiment with black back ground and some off camera flashes?
