[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 424767, member: 9753"] I thought it would be interesting to see my macro evolution ever since I got the Tamron 90mm. Back in the day I never used flash and disliked using flash very much, boy how things have changed. Here is a shot taken in my backyard back in 2012, I used golden syrup to attract the green tree ants. No flash and natural lighting.
