I love these macro shots. They really are gorgeous. Do you use a special lens for them?

It was my favourite thing to do , flower and insectshots with a Canon 400D which I no longer have:(
These were taken with a Finepix,macrosetting, warmed the colors a bit and slight crop.
Hopefully Santa decieds I,ve been good enough for a Canon this year đ

Dank je Elly, het is precies de tijd dat ik er even op uit kan trekken en nu dat de meeste bladeren en bloemen verdwenen zijn is dit een mooi alternatief om wat plaatjes van te schieten đ
