.: I got an early Bday present :.

Went to town the other day with my Mum. Ive been saying for ages how I would like a Macro lens. But damn those buggers cost a good $1000 NZD and more

Something I cant afford

So Mum and I were having a look around when we came across this Close-up lens set for $80 NZD brand new.. My cousin or rather my second cousin, hes my Mums cousin. so whats that make him? my second cousin right? well something like that hehe. Anyways he owns one of the photo shops in town. So he gave it to us for $80 and not $100 and something hehe. so yay for family discount hehehe.
I had been talking to ^kkart a little while back about a macro lens, he suggested the close-up, and not the macro lens a few times. But me being me, noooo I wanted the Macro lens.. So with ^kkart's words in my head while Mum and I where out looking. I decided well ^kkart has kick arse art so he must know what hes talking about. Hes also given me a lot of good tips since I have known him. So I guess I had better listen to him hehe.
So yeah for $80 I walked away with a new 58mm Close-up lens set screw-in type filter

yay Mum

She then went on to say she will take it home and wrap it up and I can open it on my Bday.

That Bday thing is wrong btw, its always a day late for me. My bday is on the 25th of June, which according to that thing is in 7 days. But for me, its in 6 days. Which means people often wish me a happy bday a day late hehe. But ohh well better a day late then not at all

Anyways back on topic hehe so I was like "nooooo wayyyy Im taking it home now" hehe. So Mums like ok Ill get you something else to open on your bday. I told her nooo I dont want anything else this kit is more then what I expected .. But she just rolled her eyes

and said "you HAVE to have something to open on your bday" no use argueing with Mum, its like pissing in the sea

Much like me, she will just go "yeah ok" but do it anyway lol.. See people its not my fault I get that from my Mother blame her lol..
When I got home even though it was about 4pm, the day was a bit on the crappy side, as it often is in the middle of winter hehe. I just had to take a photo

. So here is my very first photo using my new toy

Id love to know what you guys think of it. There is no editing done to it, only added the border and the text. Everything else is untouched. Please dont be too mean on me though as Im new to it and still getting the hang of it hehe. Please click on the image and go leave a comment

.: Close-ups > Macro :.

Now its time to see some of the "real" macro art out there

This I just had to add cause it made me laugh

.: My little bubble :.

.: Stamps :.

.:Random fact about me :.

When I go into my little shell. Its very hard to get me out again
