Very nice photos! I love the 4th one down, of the street.

I'm also pretty big into Photography, But recently I haven't had enough time to get really good photos, so here's some older ones...

That third photo down is amazing, I would set it to my wallpaper if i could make it big enough to not get lower quality. Thats a nice camera your usign too

EDIT:
Closest thing I have ever actually gotten to a good looking picture (im very proud of my one and only) but it was taken on a 2 megapixel iPhone camera, all i have >.<
EDITX2: Yeah the dog got in the way too

Well, my friend, you are in luck. I put all my stuff up on Flickr with a CC license, meaning that anyone can download the original size. Maybe 3888x2592 would be more to your liking? ;) That's here: http://flickr.com/photos/pargon/2493489917/sizes/o/in/set-72157605063857814/

And in case you're curious, you can find my photos here: http://flickr.com/photos/pargon/sets/

Wow dude, that's really great stuff. I don't do much macro photography myself, but it's been something I've wanted to get into for awhile.

Thanks, means a lot. :)

The secret to a great macro shot is to get as close as your lens will allow from many different angles. Many of my shots I discard because they didn't work, but you won't know until you try shooting that. I also try to work in direct sunlight without flash, as I feel shots look more real with sun being the only light source. However that can be problematic sometimes, obviously!

Shot with a Nikon D40 + kit 18-55mm lens.

Thanks! Those are Red Pandas, Taken at the Dublin Zoo, Ireland. Luckily I managed to get a shot with almost nothing man made in it.

Different, Those are some lovely Macro shots, I especially love the Marbles.
