These macro chots have given me inspiration to try and do better. Thanks everybody.

The advantage of using digital camera for macro is that you can see the result instantly. So you can find out what mistake you had made and correct them. I used to take macro with film cameras some 30 years ago. It was not very successful. With digital cameras I can improve my skill rapidly. I took about 1000 shot per month with my D50 and 60mm macro lens for 3 months now. I am addicted to macro photography and seldom take pictures of birds like I used to. I think you do not need much equipments to achieve good results.
ttached are some more macro pictures, enjoy.
