I haven't had the chance to take many shots recently, but I'll share a few here. Images are in 1024x768, hidden behind spoilers. EXIF data has apparently been ripped by the host; sorry...
The following two were taken with the Olympus Zuiko Digital 70-300mm with the EX-25 extension tube mounted. The water lilies were in the middle of a small pool of water, meaning that I coildn't get close with my 50mm macro lens alone; the 70-300mm + EX-25 gave me the reach I needed and allowed me to go to ~0.6x magnification.

And then for something interesting. People usually take shots of fountains at a slow shutter speed, so as to capture the motion of the fountain. I turned up the ISO and aperture, waited for the clouds to pass, and then took a shot of a fountain at 1/4000 shutter speed (the fastest that the E-520 will allow). Result:
Not bad, but 1/4000 still wasn't fast enough to freeze everything. (1/8000 maximum speed of the Olympus E-3 would have been fun to try.) How can that technique be applied? See the next picture. Taken with the ZD 50mm macro:
This is a shot of a fountain depicting three young women dancing in a circle, hands linked. In the center is a rising jetstream of water. Depending on the direction of the wind, a different figure would be sprinkled. For statues they seem rather lively, but use of a slow shutterspeed to capture the movement of the water would only serve to make the figures look dead and unmoving. Freezing the water makes the statues feel even more alive.
