With pinholes you can do excellent macro shots... this one is a grass closeup.
Imagine you would be a frog taking a picture ;)
This half-inch spider crawling on the ceiling was the first shot on a recently acquired Jupiter 37A lens mounted on a bellows. Despite some color fringing, this lens doubles as an excellent macro lens with extension tubes or bellows.
I'm testing the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX5 point and shoot camera. As far as I can see the picture quality is OK for being what it is (a pocket camera - don't expect DSLR quality), although not significantly improved compared to my old Sony T500 camera (see my photo set with photos from that cam)
I'm not an expert in optics, so I don't know why this is -- but a treat the HX5 shares with lots of other pocket cameras, which DSLR's do not have in a typical kit, is excellent macro capability.
Macro wise this camera has an edge on the T500 in the sense that you don't have to enter a special macro mode to do macros. Just shove the lens as near the object as you want and click. That's a great improvement.

So I was feeling a little uninspired tonight, I didn't want to go outside, I had no immediate ideas for my 365. I have been considering taking a photo of my ZD 14-54mm (mark 1) for some time now, as it has been a fantastic lens, and I cannot really say anything bad about it!
I have used this considerably since getting it, and with good reason! It is a versatile zoom: covering an EFL of 28-108mm, it is sharp, decently fast, and it is capable of fast focusing and excellent macro capability.
Taken with my OM Zuiko 50mm lens at f/4.
Steps: 0.
I picked the title because it was right, and because Fatboy Slim and Christopher Walken made me do it. Seriously, that is one of my all-time favorite music videos.
This is an excellent macro and telephoto lens. Sharpness is legendary, low light telephoto is possible on a tripod. I have a really enjoyed using this one!

No joke. We'd been together for five years, and the abuse that this Powershot took showed what a champion it was.... I was *going* to get a new Canon for Christmas, but when we did research, it showed that they'd changed the battery packs and that the cameras no longer had such excellent macro. I NEED excellent macro, half of what I take pics of is super-tiny! Just because I need a PNS doesn't mean it should be a POS. My kind husband tracked down the same model camera and bought me an identical old/new Powershot 720S (which I am using to take a pic of the *old* dead one). Yay!
A Bit of narrow band imaging using the COAST robotic telescope with SHO filters. Image Lrgb SHO using a a clear filter for the luminance channel. Processed using Affinity Photo 2.5 and James Ritson's excellent macros. Denoised etc. using GraXpert AI and AstroClean. I did not reduce the stars as I liked the image as captured by COAST.

Sprawling vine with numerous sprays of tiny (individual flower - ¼") flowers. Often seen as a hazy blue patch. Houston, Texas.
Lacking a good Macro for my Canon and having left my Olympus in the Yukon, which has an excellent Macro, I am forced to crop for the view I want. Nevertheless, I think this one worked out quite well. A spider covered in morning dew just as I found it in the garden this morning. They sure have things here on the coast of southern Canada that we don't see in the Yukon and this is one.
Taken using my compact camera. SONY Super Steadyshot DSC T20. This tiny camera has excellent macro facility. It is as good as any SLR camera.
My wife brought home some excellent looking mushrooms. I thought they'd make an excellent macro subject. Setup shot here.

Terribly outdated digital camera from Sony. 14X optical zoom. Excellent macro. Saves pics to floppy disk. It also produces an .html file on the disk with links for all the pictures in list form. It still works and I still use it occasionally. Only thing wrong with it is that my chihuahua chewed up the lens cap.
Absolutely not being made anymore.
I found this little snake while mowing the lawn today - he is fully grown - it is a Virginia Worm Snake or Eastern Brown Snake.. I guess the warm weather has him confused - it very late in the year to be finding snakes.
I have heard these called by a few names - But I think they are the Eastern Brown (they look very much like Worm Snakes) - they are harmless - here is a link to some info on the Brown Snake: www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/information/index.asp?s=03...

Thanks.
The telephoto lens on the Canon makes for an excellent macro lens as the close focus and IS are excellent.

gilltheaker recently posted an excellent macro of a hoverfly (sorry, can't link to it, visit Gill's stream) so I decided to see how difficult it had been to take. Gill, I am even more impressed! Not easy at all... for once I found myself with too little depth of field until I stopped the aperture down.
On the rose by our front door again.
This katydid had been visiting one zinnia plant for several days and this morning it was gone - because of its size I'm pretty convinced it migrated to a nearby cucumber blossom. I think the internal flash of the em10 ii does an excellent job with insects.
Of course, with more "flighty" insects I have to use a longer lens and especially for butterflies I will choose my Canon 7D + 300 f/4L IS lens which has an excellent macro mode, or a micro43 body with the Panasonnic 100-400 lens, which feels awkward at best, but can yield some excellent captures.
My roomates step sister, Ann, came by to study algebra. He had some conflicting obligations, so I took her downtown and let her use my camera and gave her a couple of tips. She was into photographing a lot of graffitti, did some really excellent macro's (that I'm slightly jelous of!) and also photographed some frogs from a calendar so that it'd look like she took some really good photo's. You can tell that she's 15 b/c she described all of her impressive shots as "tight", lol. Anyway, I promised her I'd upload these, & give her full credit, so here you go. There are shots from Kerry Park, Seattle Central Library, and the Pike Place Market. I cropped and digitally manipulated some of the shots, but for most of these it was her who focused and released the shutter. Enjoy!
