Thanks for the great comments everyone!

jamesfitzmaurice, make sure you take your pics on an angle to the glass if you are using a flash, also try to use somekind of diffuser. Other than that, try for the highest shutter speed possible and if neccesary dial up the ISO.

eym2, I used my trusty 100mm f2.8 macro. Here is another pic with taken with a canon 180mm f3.5L macro. The gaussian blur is much better with this lens.
