[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 172606, member: 12257"] Made the mistake at looking into some of these macro threads... now I want the 105mm Macro lens!! At the very least, I think I'll look into some of the Macro add-on lens kits. Until then, I used the 70-300 VR to zoom way in from about 6 feet away. ;) (then cropped, of course) Who knew flies had BIG red eyes? Apparently, my Nikon does! [ATTACH=CONFIG]44187._xfImport[/ATTACH] Added a bit of the built-in flash to provide fill light, as the two fly photos were taken in late afternoon shade. [ATTACH=CONFIG]44186._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then, the easiest to capture "critter" of them all, moved to a section of a tree trunk bathed in late afternoon light. At this scale, this guy looks like he could've fought Godzilla!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]44188._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
