Long time lurker, 2nd time poster. Just picked up my T3i yesterday afternoon and after a couple hours of reading, how-to videos, etc. I said screw it, let's take some pics. And then it started raining.

Looking forward to taking pics in the company of those with some real talent.

hello Ace, i have a question. how do you get such a close up on the bugs u get? i know u have a macro lens, but i try to do it with my 18-55mm an i can't get that close. if i do get close like yours where u can c the eyes it won't focus, in auto or manual. i have to either back up or or zoom out a little

Ace may have another method, but zoom to 55 and manually focus to the closest distance. Then just move in and out for what you want in focus, F11 if possible for higher depth of field.

Like Rook said, exactly. I haven't used my kit for bug closeups, but have had great success with the 55-250mm...just doing the same thing as Rook mentioned. If your picture is sharp enough, it can handle a nice crop and still look good (and close-up).
