Black and white photos using your maco lense
Playing with your Macro lens or Macro setting is fun, just make sure your camera doesn't block out all the light on your subject.

Thanks Peyton =
It's easy if you have the right camera. My digital camera has a lot of different settings, so I've stood infront of the window on a sun shiney day, put my camera onto its Super Macro setting, and swtiched the colour to black/white, held the camera right up to my eye (make sure you don't block out the sun with the camera) and taken a happy snap.

If you don't have these settings though, you can use a desk lamp, and use a camera with a manual focus and keep adjusting it until the the picture is clear. Changing your ISO and Appature will help depending on how much light you have as well.

This is amazing! Could you post a tutorial for me? I really want to learn how to do photography like this but I have the hardest time figuring out how to do it by myself. Happy
