See the post I just put on concerning making an inexpensive macro lens. I now need to work on my lighting and background to get better pics.

Took these shots with my Kodak C433 4.0MP on the macro setting with just my track lighting mounted on my wall in the living room and the cameras flash filtered by 2 pieces of white paper. Not to bad for a first test but it still need tweaking. The MS coin shows some glare. Its a learning process and I'm having fun. These pics are not adjusted in anyway except for the cropping. The color is as it was when I took the pics.
