Some macro shots this afternoon, I left it a bit late and the sun was low.

Very small Green jumping spider, handheld with 90mm macro. I think I need an extension tube or two and a Raynox adaptor.

I am using an LED ring light and then had to include the onboard flash as I was struggling with light. Even bumped up the ISO quite high.

They look to be lit very nicely. Thats something my pics have been lacking, I have been using the onboard flash sometimes when there isnt enough light, but it causes me problems with the top of the lens casting a shadow.
To make it work I have to refrain from focusing in too close, and then cropping in PP , but thats not ideal.

Here is an uncropped and cropped version of a very very very very very small spider capturing an ant... Photo is not great but considering I first thought it was some pollen stuck on a web I think its pretty good.

Here is a colourful fly that was on a leaf in the backyard, again being windy has hampered my quest to get sharper images and this was the last one before he decided to "fly" away :cool:

Looks like you've got the dreaded windy macro curse too Scott.
I'm sure there is not a breath of wind until I walk outside with my camera and macro lens :rolleyes:

​Caught in mid air - Actually this was a lucky shot as everytime I triggered the flash he would tae flight, this is the best I managed.

Hey, thats the same Green Jitterbug that I am having trouble getting a good shot of.
Out of about 300 shots, I have got about 5 that I have kept.
​I cant believe how quick they are.

It happens to me often. I thought it was just me. Glad to know others have been equally as cursed. :)

Here are some more bug shots, you may get sick of them as I just found out my car is going to cost me $6K to get fixed...
