Apologies for my sense of humour but a hand held macro shot of a flower in our back garden.

Great photo. What lens were you using?
Thank you very much and the lens is the Nikon 105VR macro
Here's another of my wife's flowers. Nothing is set-up, the plant is in our back garden and I am hand holding the camera. No posh flash equipment, props or tripod. I am just someone that enjoys 'snapping' what is in front of the lens.
The second image is showing what I think is pollen?

Beautiful photos. You've sold me on the 105VR. If I could produce images almost as good as these with the 105 I would be happy.

Hi Joe,
Confession time
I looked at what other folks are doing with their lens and then try to emulate that.. I am positive folks will do better using a tripod and all the other items that help set off macro images, but it is not possible for me to do that so I make the most out of what I can do.
I must confess to being a fan of this lens.
Here's a challenge with a macro... Snapping a bee in the wild as it flits from flower to flower.
I would love to somehow 'freeze' those wings but how? :)
This was at 1/4000th at F3 and boy was it a challenge trying to get the pesky thing in focus. In the end I told it to buzz off :)
