Hi Dan,
(neighbor:) Your bio states you shoot with a 100mm macro. Is that what produced these? Very impressive! I didn't realize that lens could shoot so small. Nice and sharp too. MT-26 macroflash setup too?
Maybe someday -sigh,
Tim

Thanks Tim
I'm right over in Voorhees, so we pretty much are neighbors!
All of the "bugs" that I photograph are taken with the 100mm macro, these included. It can be difficult to get decent shots of such small creatures, especially since I don't ever capture them but rather shoot them as I find them, but I'm getting better every time I go out (at least in my opinion anyway, haha). As for flash, I'm using the 430ex with a Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce diffuser right now. Hopefully one of these days I'll win the lottery so I can upgrade to a better camera, a MP-E 65mm Macro lens and a MT-24EX flash setup, haha!
