Shooting macro handheld is officially a pain in the butt!
These are some of the first "bug shots" I've been able to grab since buying an actual macro lens about a month ago. Grabbed these on my wife's flowers this morning!

Nice shots.
Agreed macro handheld is a pain in the butt, but when you get some great captures it makes all that butt pain worth it

Very nice shots, especially the crab spider. Yup, agree with Moose about the challenge being half the fun!
