    Justin,

    Unfortunately this theme does not make provision for posting entire galleries. I have taken the liberty of posting two of your photos here, you are more than welcome to post the others in another post. Very nice photos.

    The colours are amazing, but yuor wasp moth needs definition, focus and sharpness.

    Hi Kieta

    Thank you. I agree, but that is the downfall of only having macro/close-up filters – which are also a lower quality brand. I am aching to get my hands on my own macro lens, but for now I have to settle.

    I took these pics the weekend I recieved the filters, I have managed to work around the problems they cause. At f3.5 there is literally a diagonal line of focus, everything else is out of focus.
    So, now I set my aperture around f11, which then causes a proplem in low light.

    All 3 filters were used as well, wich let me get VERY close but as you say it does affect the sharpness.

    Hopefully I will have a macro lens before season (when these wasp moths appear) and I can take some pics to compare.

    Justin, I agree with Kieta. I reckon with the right equipment the landscape shot could have been stunning.
