Firts try on Macro

Since last week I bought my macro lens, I never really had a chance to test it out. So I have decided to take it out and play around with it.

(1:1, slightly cropped)

(1:1, slightly cropped)

(1:1, no crop)

(1:1, slightly cropped)

(Not 1:1, as its too far to reach)

(1:1, slight crop)

I do not know why after uploading to photobucket, the photo are not so sharp. Perhaps they compress it?

Focusing is again, very hard and I have shaky hands. Anyone have a cure for shaky hands?
