[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 821188, member: 50197"] Some different plants are starting to bloom. I've been wondering how this plant was going to look after blooming, and what insects it would attract. Since some of the insects that are starting to be attracted to this are very small, I put my extension tubes on my 105 macro. I'm having a little trouble nailing focus with this setup. This plant is very tall, so I'm standing up and it's hard to stay steady enough standing with such a small DOF to keep the eyes in focus. I've thought about breaking out the tripod, but these guys move around too much to allow time for me to set up. Maybe I'll try my hand with the monopod. I may just have to take lots and lots of shots and be content with only a few having the eyes in focus.
