New Hobby - Taking a closer look.

I've been playing with a new hobby. Macro Photography. It's new to me anyway. I've rigged a macro studio in my workshop and I've been goofing around a bit. It's fun and (for me anyway) it's a great way to learn about depth of field and the study of light and shadow. Maybe, in a controlled environment where I have the time to dick around with the f-stop and aperture setting and then witness the results I'll get an intuitive feel for the camera during fast shooting.
I can hope, can't I?
