I found a neat little plugin for WordPress and just had to have a play with it 
It allows me to stick a gallery of photos into this site direct from my Flickr account. It’s not that I can’t afford the bandwidth to host the pictures myself because I have near on unlimited storage and bandwidth but it’s a pain in the backside uploading photos everywhere. With this plugin I can just pull them from Flick without having to mess about.
Anyway, here it is, featuring my rather superb Insect world set from Flickr. The early ones (first 7) in the set were taken with the 18-55 kit lens and close up dioptres bolted on the front, the rest were taken with the superb Sigma 180mm macro.
Please note these are true macro photos, not crappy crops of a tiny bit of the image which many people on flickr try to claim as a macro shot. If you click the photo title it will open the Flickr photo page for the photo where you can view the full size 10 mega pix image for some really stunning detail.
There are a couple of photo shopped pictures among them, but they are obviously photo shopped for fun and you will know which ones I am talking about when you see them, the rest are practically untouched apart from slight crop for composition and maybe an exposure adjustment.
Please feel free to make comment, you will find a box to do so at the foot of the page
