Close-up Filters

I was given a few 49mm, close-up filters for my 35mm SLR and I can't wait to try them out. I have put them on my 50mm lens and I will use them outside tomorrow; in the garden.



I currently have a colour film in the camera so it would be quite good if I could find some of the ladybirds that have been hanging around recently. If not, the forget-me-nots will be fabulous.

Thanks Bec, for my excellent birthday gift xx
