Macrophotgraphy: Plant Shots

Hello all,

Please enjoy these 'macro' shots. I don't own a macro lens yet. Hence, I use a 50mm lens and manually focus it to the best of my ability. I give images a shallow depth of field and use a low aperture to give the background some bokeh. This helps the flora really stick out and contrast well with the negative space in the background.

I'm going to invest in a macro lens when my tax return comes through. While I appreciate the challenge, I'd enjoy these shots far more if they were truly macro and came out sharper.

Thoughts? Let me know!

Yours,
Jordan! :)
