My 1st experience with macro

Have bought a Sony DSLR Alpha 200 @ MS Colour AMK Central on 31 Jan 2009.
I was rather happy with the performance of the camera. But one thing I face is I love macro pictures while this camera cannot really proved me..May be because I am also a newbie.

I started to look about new solutions to take macro pictures and saw things like we can use Hoya close-up filters +1 to +4 to take macro images.
(Low budget solution as compare to Macro 50mm and 100mm lens)
I then went to Cathy photos on 3 Jan 2009 to ask for the +4 close-up macro filter but no luck to be found, as they only sell +3.

I started to roam around the area, and saw a shop Deluxe Camera selling Vitacom 0.45 wide w/macro.
I wonder any one out there have try before.
So i bought it and came home for test.
And here are the result of this lens.
It came with width angle and macro lens.


I believe this is a cheap solution too as it cost me $100 SGD to have width and also macro.
But i wonder how the +4 close-up filter if i will to get hold of it, will it also give me this results?

One thing which i found it strange about this lens is that at the certain angle, it blur out the top of the images. I wonder if this lens are built in this way. So if i will to get +4 close-up will the images presented be better??


Anyway i enjoy the shutter sound and the function of the camera as a beginner.


Way to go.. Have started to blog my photography experience and wait for people to give critic about my photos.
