Post your macro photos here

Found some small mites on the moss plant outside our front door. The first photo has the tip of my finger behind it to show the size.

Cottony cushion scale -- not your garden friend (but the pictures are nice)

Sprayed for these after I got the photos. Had them last year as well.

These shiny beggars are hard to shoot

A few samples of my first efforts with my Kenko extension tubes - will have to look for some on-line tutorials on how to get the most from these tubes. Looks like they could be lots of fun. But my keeper ratio is very low - maybe one in 40 is a keeper - shooting hand held in late evening sun. Tried the AF and while it does work - and seems to work best with only one extension tube attached, I found it best to go to MF and just move in and out (less than 2-3 cm of lens movement maybe) and use the rapid fire shutter. Gentle breeze is also a macro shooters enemy - although it feels loverly on a hot summer evening.

Find it kind of a fail, but not by much:

I dont normally take photos of dead things but this bugger woke me up last night as it was having a chew on my hair... Needless to say it died quickly.

Was trying to get a Bee in Flight shot but took this too early.

Not looking to spend a lot of setup time with this one... just wanted to get a quick shot with 2 lights
