Experimenting with Macro

Still slowly trying to learn the new camera. I keep trying to get better at taking closeup photos, but my skills there have so far proven poor. I'll keep at it until I get some decent results. Among my problems are that the results end up, by and large, unfocused and slightly blurred.

I need to break down and take a couple of courses on the use of SLR digital cameras.

Firepink.

Any expert who wants to ID the flowers, just post a comment.
