Test shot with a 1980s-era Sears 28mm f/2.8 Macro lens on an Olympus E-PM2 body using a Canon FD-to-Micro 4/3rds adapter.
Excellent macro capabilities, Great overall lens with decent sharpness, Aesthetically pleasing macro images when shot wide open (f/2.8), such as this one, and a lot of fun to use!

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!

VERY advanced metering features are the Shadow and Highlight exposure compensation buttons located on the back top of the camera -- perfect for thumb operation. Take a spot meter reading of the highlight or shadow, and then use the respective button to compensate to bring the tone to the proper exposure -- since any meter only reads 18% gray. You can choose how much, or how little compensation you make just.
Exposure range is a wide EV 0 to 20 at ASA 100. DX or manual ASA setting. Film speed range 6 to 6400.
TTL flash, offering both centerweighted and amazingly enough, SPOT flash metering with the 300TL...the only camera I know that offers this feature. Also available was the excellent Macro Ringlight ML-2.
Extremely easy to read full information digital viewfinder readout. Below the focusing screen in horizontal small red LED's are the shutter speed, f/stop and exposure mode. This readout is EXTREMELY easy and convenient to read. The side of grip has a hidden panel where you can set the LED brightness. On the right side, vertically, is the exposure LCD indicators including spot readings and frame remaining.
Multiple exposure capability, up to 9 exposures possible.
Excellent macro shot of a field mouse eating his tea in Daves back yard..cool!

So, about midnight I decided to put out the empty milk bottles before I got settled down to commenting on photos etc. As usual, I picked up the bottles and walked into the porch, slid off my slippers and put my foot into the first shoe.....ouch! Something had stung me and it turned out to be this queen wasp. At least it will not be making a nest in my shoe now.
Individual flower of Brunfelsia australius known as "Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow" blooming in my yard. Wonderful evening scented flower changes color from violet to white as the common name describes. The seeds are poisonous. Houston, Texas. March 2009.
Test shot taken with my new/old Vivitar 70-150 manual focus lens. Unlike the earlier version of this lens made by Kino Precision aka Kiron this one has an excellent macro mode,

Since buying the macro lens i have found that spiders make excellent macro subjects.
I found this fellow in the shed, so I took the chair he was on outside, took photos, and promptly put the chair back where it was.
I have uploaded these FULL SIZE, so feel free to look at them in all their glory :)
SB-800 fired from Nikon D200. Flash placed camera bottom (in front of the spider)

My brother Imery told me that the lenses in the mid-50mm range make excellent macros if they are turned around. This is my first test - It works amazingly!
Assignment 7 for Macro Photography Photo Workshop: Insect in a Kid's Book.
Assignment description: For this assignment, imagine that a friend of yours has written a children’s book about insects. Knowing that you are an excellent macro photographer, your friend asks you to photograph an insect to go on the front cover of the book. Insects can be scary-looking, but try to make the photo look as child-friendly and approachable as possible.
Photographer comment: This is a photo I took last summer at the US Botanic Garden in Washington, DC. I cropped the original photo to focus on the bee. If you look closer to the bee, you can see pollen sticking all over the bee's body. It could be a good illustration on the pollination process.
Tried to snap a quick pic of this father and son out exploring the gardens. The young man was apparently paying more attention to me than the plants. Love the look.
Sigma SP Adaptall BBAR 90mm f2.5 Manual Focus Macro lens. Excellent macro, general photo and portrait lens.
After seeing some excellent macro lens results from some of my contacts, i thought i would blow the dust off my extension tubes which effectively convert a std lens to a macro lens.
A Pink Dream
I decided that for the 365 today I should step outside the comfort zone and go for a macro........ being a landscape and urban photographer macro is somehting I often stay away from, but I look at some of the excellent macros from some of my contacts and am in awe.
Well I decided the only way to up the macro anti was to dive in and shoot more macro than I do.
The flower my little ones bought my wife for mothers day was so beautiful and delicate it seemed a shame not to preserve an image of it in all it's glory.
Just hope I've done it justice........?
My music theme as I was listening to the Cure on Spotify was a simple choice:

rio sunrise sucking on a straw
i rub my head and stagger out the door
and head into the bright new beautiful day
and the way she pulls me in
sucks my breath away
i asked her for some time
and she just made me it
i asked her maybe why?
and she just gave me it
never smile
never stare
she doesn't seem to care at all
never cry
never scream
she doesn't really seem to need me at all...
fourteen weeks i stay away from home
a hundred days a part of me unknown
apart in pink and perfect moments play
and as a wonder of the world
she sucks my breath away
i asked her for some time
and she just made me it
i asked her maybe why?
and she just gave me it
so i asked her could be heaven?
and she just prayed me it...
she didn't want to know my name
she didn't want to know how long we had together
spending time as if tomorrow never comes
i didn't want to know the end
i didn't want to go but slowly found me home again
and slow again tomorrow comes
but it was all so far away
and so long ago
i hardly ever think about her anymore
except sometimes when the summer twilight breeze
carries me the scent of faraway rain
i remember...
and she still sucks my breath away
