Very nice, and thanks for posting. I guess all of us have amazing wild life we take for granted because we see it everyday.

These are good shots for just starting out. Focus looks good, as does the illumination. Black Eye Susan good probably use more exposure. Keep practicing with the flash, 1/4 to 1/2 power is a good starting point. Keep aperture in the f11 to f16 range and a shutter speed of 1/200.
Thanks a bunch for the input. I do appreciate learning new things!

Thanks! I've taken some flower shots using a ring flash in light mode. Haven't really mastered using a non-TTL flash.All macro-photographers start by using available light. We all experienced, same as you, that high magnification requires lots of light, and using a large aperture dictates a very shallow Depth of Field.
Most of us have ventured into speedlight illumination, which allows low ISO, short shutter duration, and relatively small aperture. Typically, I shoot all of my macro-photography at ISO 200, 1/200-sec at f/16.

Shoot your subject from a variety of angles...The first flower is a case in point as so little of it is in focus...Sometimes it pays to shoot at less than 1:1 but crop more in post to retain the most DOF...
Thanks! I did take a couple others of that same bunch of flowers in my yard. They are probably a little better.

I'm just starting to get into macro photography and enjoy the challenge. He are a few of my first images. Any pointers are appreciated!

Will do!
