Hi everybody, I'm fairly new to macro photography but the Canon 100mm f/2.8L lens sure makes it all worth while once you get the focus/depth right :cool:.

Although not as sharp as I would like (it was a windy day so the plants swayed back and forth occassionally), I'm pleased with the following shot that's creeping out quite a lot of people because who is checking out who?
Also, somebody pointed out that if you look at the thumbnail of this photo, you can see a greenish/white skull with its jaw bottom right and the fly sitting in one of the eye sockets :-).

And the following shot is from today of a common spider but the flash of my 430EXII created a shadow that makes him look far more menacing then he is. It was purely by accident as I'm still experimenting with flash and flash positionining but I hope you like it too.

very nice on both of them, it makes me dizzy when looking at plants moving the wind thru the viewfinder.

Thank you Rick for the nice comment. I usually give up if there's too much wind, especially when I'm shooting hand-held :).

You've heard the term, "I wish I were a fly on the wall."? :mrgreen:

There are lots of things watching us all the time. ;)
