I have also tried some macro , but you need a proper macro lens for really good results .
Not strictly true, the definition of a macro photography is "photography producing photographs of small items larger than life size", so a good telephoto can yield good results : the following images were taken with a Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-500mm lens.

A Potter Wasp (Delta lepeleterii).

And also lots of patience :-) And for patience , you need lots of time :O^
That's why I haven't done much macro photography lately.

Okie, would still love to see some of your images - they just may be quite creative, regardless of camera. Think outside the box :-0
