So I gave some macro photos a go.
I have allot of respect to the forum members who continually get great macro shots.

anyway suggestions for improvement?

These are nothing to be upset about for a first go at macro Carlo.
The best I can offer for this kind of subject is patience and a fast shutter.
It will always be hard to get a huge amount of DOF when this close so the patience is a big part :wink:

Having tried to photograph bees before, I realise just how difficult this can be. You have done really well! Especially that 4th one. :D

From my experience you want lots of light, so you can have both a high shutter speed to freeze the motion as well as a small apperture to give you the large DOF that you want in these shots.

Keep it up!
