I have macro back!!!!!

Actually, I've had it all along, but wasn't utilizing what I had until nards656 read the forums at dpc. (Imagine that, getting a photography question answered there. I gotta start paying closer attention). So, now I can shoot macro with my rebel, and I didn't have to buy any new lenses (and that, my friend, is a good thing).

I think I have a phobia about tripods, because I just refuse to use them. I have one, but I won't put the mount on the camera. It would take what, maybe 30 seconds? Anyway, this was handheld (the camera was resting on a kleenex box) at around 1/30 f5.6 with +4, +2, and +1 close up/macro rings on my kit lens. If only I would take a few minutes and actually set a shot up properly . . . .
