The images below were taken with Canon Rebel T2i/550D using the 18-55mm kit lens. We were pretty pleased with the results...

VERY nice! What mode did you use for these?
Proofread carefully to make sure you didn't anything out.

I didn't know if they were experienced or not. Thought it might have been Closeup Mode and post processed.  ;)

Hi guys thanks for your comments. The mode was indeed manual - we're definitely manual photographers! We really wanted to test the quality of detail we could get with the basic kit lens, hence the reason we took these pics. Have to say we were impressed with what it gave us.

Photoshop was used to enhance the colours. For us the post process is all part of the art of digital photography. Thanks again for viewing!
