Some of my macro shots

I love macro. Althought they're not as good as they could be I'm sure! These were taken with a P&S. Getting my first DSLR next week.

Feel free to critique!

Great shots, amazed at the shallow DOF....

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

They are more close up shots than macro but for a P&S they are good. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yeah I know. True macro is the full 1:1, but you can't control that with a P&S. Maybe next week!

Nice shots...You might crop them a little though. You will find that shooting macro with a DSLR to be an entirely different animal than it is with a P&S...You will have even less DOF with a DSLR...

You are ready for the DSLR. You have obviously mastered the macro abilities on the P&S.
