I am loving doing macro photography but I want to get closer than my 100 macro allows, what equipment do I need to do so.

I found if you talk to the dragonfly he will stay for a longer period. lol

Nice set Barbara.The Kenko tubes are much cheaper than the canon brand.get the DG type,and you,ll have full control with tubes on.

Lovely captures - agree a set of extension tubes is probably best- that will take you up to 2:1 magnification.
