Thank you Mike and I'll take that advice and try to spend an hour a day practicing. I think you are off to a great start, are asking all of the right questions, and you have come to the right place to get assistance. I have seen some people dramatically improve their efforts over the last year thanks to the True Macro forum. Practice, practice, practice.

I like it Erv, tease away. What's your take on the last photo? I need more ideas. I have a 6x8 softbox on the way. I'm going to try a fluid head tripod to see if I can fine tune a 90* perpendicular with the penny. Try a little darker background, what??? Anybody, hammer away Please.I think you are doing a great job starting off. I just had to kid you a little about the lent tho. It looked pretty sharp.:) I play a little in micro but with work and the kids, I can't find enough time in the day for everything.:) And then there is Janny always wanting me to do stuff around the house.:):)

I don't have the 6x8 yet it's in the mail by next week. This 60mm has such a short lens to subject distance.I strongly recommend a 6x8-inch softbox diffuser.

#1&2 Acorn, Incandescent 60W light & Flash: Nikon SB-700 with Stock Diffuser You are off to a good start. You need to tweak a few basic fundamentals, which will improve your results.
I see flair (due to reflective over-exposure from white background) in image #1; and softness in image #2 (due to small aperture diffraction).
Which speedlight, and which diffuser?

#3 Penny, Incandescent 60W light & Flash: Nikon SB-700 with 4"x6" Softbox.
#4 Brought in a more muted background, No lights, dark room.
1/250 sec at f/8, ISO 50, SB-700 w/ 4x6 softbox
Thank you Douglas for the hints, I need all the help I can get.
It looks like the Camera is not exactly 90* to the subject?

Thanks Erv, I used a 4x6" soft box and Jacked the f stop thru the roof to f/57. That last one is very nice. I thing the lighting is better.
I doing a penny right now. A flat perpendicular surface and will post it later here. ISO 50, 1/30 sec at f/16, 1:1 focus, Mirror-up Remote

I took this photo of this House Sparrow on my bird feeder... I was waiting for him to hop to a branch nearby but I took a photo of him on the feeder in case he flew away... he flew away without hopping to a nearby branch...
Great composition and Bokeh.

Prime no diagonal and no barlow.

Just shot this a few minutes ago through a 6 inch RC Astro Tech at f/12.6. Exposure was 1/100 sec at ISO 400. Had to shoot it in all four quadrants then meshed it together using panorama in Adobe PE 9
Now, that's a great shot Algol. What I've come to expect from you.

Your camera does not shoot in Tiff. That is what you do to it after you view it on your computer. Your camera shoots in Jpg, Raw or both at the same time. You save the file in Tiff, Jpg or PSD after editing it.
Files saved as Tiff retain all the editing you have done. Jpgs do not.

Hi Wendy,
You mentioned PSD files what are they all about anyway.
