I love that little world, myself. When my husband sees some of my macro photos, he is always amazed at what they reveal. I discovered and fell in love with macro photography when I was in graduate school and have never lost my fascination and interest in the small things in the world.

How long did you work to train it to stand still? =)

Does it do other tricks? :)

Did you make some shots with more depth of field? Where you see the back legs.
Not that the picture above needs improvement, I just was wondering how it would come out with one f-stop difference.

It'll make a world of difference!
With true macro lens's the depth of field is paper thin.
Now add 3 extension tubes to it!
It's maddening :)
The DOF is approx the size of a a razor
if you do focus on the hind legs, the front would be just as out-of-focus as how you see the hind legs now :p
That's where focus stacking would come in to the picture.. but unfortunately i am yet to learn the skill Kodiak mentioned ;)

And YES.. the picture can be improved a lot..

I am goon to have to go to the local nature trail on Sunday. The little world is limited around my house.

This is plainly and squarely unacceptable! Look at that…

Now that you elevated WHITE ELEPHANT to stardom, this "unspokenly" common house
fly wants the same treatment and glory? … it even copies the winning pose of WHITE
ELEPHANT!

I say: "NO WAY!"

Listen, fly, I don't want to break your heart but…
you can't match the colours
you can't match the charisma
you can't match the red eyes
you can't match the light coloured body and, worst of all, …

YOU CAN'T EVEN BUZZ EVENLY!

WhiteLight, now I'm sure you're training them!
