Went to the Los Angeles Arboretum yesterday and did a few field stacks with my new 180L lens. It's an awesome lens, and although I was sad to see the 100mm go, the 180L is simply more fun, albeit a bit unwieldy...

Single exposure, tripod mounted. I wish I had used a faster shutter speed to capture the ant's motion a bit better, but the ant appeared and disappeared so quickly, I only got one try.

Single exposure with MP-E. Garbage Line Spider doing what they do best: lounging in garbage

Not exactly macro, but close enough :)

Garbage Line Spider is really cool. I enjoyed the flowers in #2 and #3.

Thanks, Toby. I'm glad they came out that way, because sometimes they can look a bit flat.
