2nd time with a macro

Well about a month ago my boss rented me the lovely 100mm f/2.8L for product work,
and I took our shots and headed out to our flower bushes to catch some local residents.

This is my second time renting the lens and shooting macro.
CC is appreciated...this hand-held creepy crawler shooting is TOUGH but really rewarding!
Again my kudos to you guys that make it look so easy!

All hand-held, Natural Light, with the T3i and 100mm f/2.8L. (Note to self: They make these cool things called macro flashes...)


f/8, 1/125, 1250 ISO
"They call me Lucky..."

These are great captures! Numbers 2 & 3 are outstanding NL shots.

Take a look at my signature for an alternative until you decide on a macro flash...

Thanks Cano!

And actually, I've already made a Pringles can snoot for my product work, so your diffuser is my kinda gear option! Genius sir, simply genius!

Wonderful series of N/L shots

Lovely nl shots!

Good work. Love that soft lighting.

love the last one

The last shot is lovely.

Thanks guys! We had a muggy cloudy day here in Phx and the lighting got soft..I wish there was just more of it!
Thanks for the update Canopic...I found that Youtube video and it's mega handy.
Maybe I'll give it a go!

Great shots, the last one square on is my fav.

The third one with the yellow behind the moth composed really well!

Great NL shots. #3 is the bomb!

Love the last one
