First macro with SX50

I'm not sure this qualifies as a macro shot but I'm happy with it. I was out fishing with my grandson and decided to see how well the SX50 could do. For a handheld shot I think it came out well.

Ted - Very nice shot. I am tempted to buy a good used bridge camera and slap a raynox on it for a light weight macro rig. Speaking of macro, no your shot is not considered macro. The sensor size on the SX50 is 4.5mm x 6.2mm. That dragonfly is longer than 6.2mm in length ( macro is at least a 1-to-1 representation of the subject on the sensor).
Fine picture, but it's a close up.

I'm just getting into macro so I have to ask: What is a raynox?

Ted - I have read good things about the SX50 and from the photos I have seen it seems fit for the hype. It's on the short list of bridge cameras I will buy if I can get the right price (used).
Raynox is a Macro lens (diopter) you attach to the front of your lens to increase magnification. There are well documented examples of people using them with great results. A couple of links for you.
