[OM] IMG: Practice with Focus Magnification

[Jim Nichols]

Using focus magnification is nice, when using a tripod, but how useful 
is it when holding a 100mm lens by hand?  I have tried it a few times, 
but the image is shaky.  I decided to put a little more effort into the 
attempt, and it worked, though not easily with moving subjects.  Here 
are two images.
A Silver-Sided Skipper in afternoon sun:

And a Carpenter Bee's late afternoon pollen collection effort on a Rose 
of Sharon:

Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
