When I first started exploring macro, I was always thrilled and obsessed with the magnification factor. During my first year exploring macro, I was always going for bigger and bigger magnification. This year marks my second year in macro photography. This year, I have set a few goals to achieve in my macro photography exploration. One of 'em is to compose better. What I have noticed in my macro outings with friends and forum members is that they tend to shoot from a diagonal angle. Why? Because it's easier to shoot. Even I do shoot that way. Well, time for a change, and put a little bit more effort in giving yourself the opportunity to compose creatively. Remember, when you see a subject, don't view the subject 360 degress of a single axis, view it from 360 degrees from 2 axis. That'll give your creative side of the brain to start working :)
Here are some of my 'improved' macro shots. At least I think so. :)
