Macro Fun

I've been really inspired lately by some macro shots I've seen online. I don't have a macro lens, so I did the old reverse lens trick and used my 50mm as a macro. I've learned that it is really hard to take macro pics! From finding something interesting to take a picture of, to keeping the camera steady and manually focusing correctly. Definitely something I need to get better at. Hopefully I can get a macro lens one of these days. And okay I know I am posting 2 pictures but I couldn't decide which I liked better. The first is my daughters little Belle action figure, and the second is the center of a hibiscus flower.
